First I do believe it is good for dogs to socialize together - but I would and do do this in controlled environments. All dogs in my opinion should be obedience trained and go to obedience classes and there in is your first time to socialize them in a controlled environment.


Now you know I have big dogs *except* my Yorkie - and when as I deliberately do with young dogs visit my fellow BRT owners the meetings are really well controlled. The older adult dog is carefully selected to meet with the young pup and it is mostly done off lead in a fenced in area. Although both owners are very very present just in case.


Sometimes we do it on lead - in an obedience format. Which is very good. Then we let the two off lead....


I do not anymore take RAzzle to leash free parks as it is too risky as Razzle is a brat and does not know to not bedevil the large dogs. But he runs back to our BRTs and expects them to handle the situation he has got himself into.....


So in summary I think youshould look at obedience classes.
