Reuger had a spell like that a while back. We went on an Easter picinc and I decided to take Reuger. The picnic was close enough to my son's house that his jack russell followed them there. When Reuger saw the other dog he went crazy. I knew that if I were to put him down we'd have a dog fight. The other dog seemed fine and was interested in sniffing and trying to get along, but not Reuger. Every time the other dog came near Reuger would just turn nasty. I was so embarrassed. Here I brought a cute little dog to the picnic and he was acting awful!! I'm not sure exactly what caused it, but I'm going to take Reuger to my son's house and try to introduce them slowly and see if he'll do better.
My daughter house sat for a friend that has 4 dogs so I took Reuger over and introduced him to them because I was worried about how he would act with other dogs. We introduced the dogs one at a time and he did great. He was a little overwhelmed at meeting 4 dogs all at once, but after a while he got somewhat used to them.
I don't know what to tell you about what happened. Maybe try introducing the dogs again with each of you holding them until they seem ok with being together. Have a crate and put one of them inside of the crate and put the other one on the outside and see how they do. If they do ok then in a little while let the one in the cage out, but keep a close eye on the situation. I hope this helps, but I'm not experienced in this area. |
