So I've brought Harley to my grandparents house several times... and they have a massive boarder collie. Blackie is about 80lbs. So ofcourse all play is monitored, and on leads. So Harley's been there and met Blackie, and Harley is not a barker.
The other day we went, and I carried Harley's crate into the house, and I heard Harley growling in his crate as we walked by Blackie outside. I didn't think much of it, so I got Harley settled in and brought in Blackie. (remember this is Blackie's home) Blackie walks in Harley plops himself on the middle of the kitchen floor and starts barking at Blackie (and subsequently vibrating backwards while barking). Blackie who normally loves Harley, starts to walk by him, and then darts to the corner, barks once or twice, and lays down, Harley just keeps a barking.
It was priceless. Like I said Harley doesn't bark. I let him do this because Blackie isn't the best trained dog in the world, especially when it comes to meeting other dogs, I wanted Harley to put him in his place and teach him how to meet a new dog, I just expected Harley to be the nervous one. I just can't imagine why a 80lb dog would be scared of a 3lb sqeak toy,... (ok not the nicest name for Harley but it was true in that situation)
Like I said, priceless. We shall bring a video camera next time he goes to visit.
