I have medium sized, high prey drive, active dogs and a pack of little dogs. I have actually cross fenced my yard so I can run dogs outside while keeping them in compatible groups. I do not allow my bigs loose with my littles, they are allowed to pass through to go outside, etc, but never to interact on a casual basis. I will allow house time, but no playing/rough-housing with big dogs in the house. Big dogs are expected to down or sit/stay while loose in the house. And before anyone thinks my big dogs are neglected - I have converted the Master bedroom for their comfort with beds, crates, a stereo, fans, and a cat (lol) for times they need to be confined. The little dogs are blocked from that room. And I take turns daily with who gets to run errands with me. |
