YT Addict | My Baby just tried to attack a doberman, help please Gizmo and I are still in Michigan and currently spenidng the night at my sisters home. She has a full grown Doberman named Gigi, now my baby does not like dogs as I have mentioned in another post, and I am a firm believer in respecting another dogs home, I don't think a dog should have to be put away from the place he lives when others visit, unless it is for health reasons or training issues. When they first saw each other my gizmo began growling and tried to lunge out of his bag to bite Gigi, I had to hold him back. So I waited and tried again to introduce them slowly, and again gizmo goes nuts. I cannot figure out why my baby does not get along with other dogs....any advice pleas

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | For your baby's safety, you really need to work with a professional trainer to help socialize him. No matter how well behaved another dog is, if they are "attacked" by another they are likely to respond in kind.

| Plus, as I mentioned in the other post, he needs to lose the bag. Put him on a leash. The bag is giving him the feeling of superiority over other dogs. That is what I'm thinking. I could be wrong.

| When I visit my out of state brother who has a huge rotweiler, my 3 1/2 lb. Yorkie tries to attack also. My brother's dog put up with it for a while and then all at once let out a really loud bark. That set back my brat and from then on, they were best friends and slept together on the sofa and ate out of Ducha's dish. It was sooooo funny. My Yorkie, Daizee, has been socialized with so many dogs but still gets bratty and barks and tries to bully big dogs. This weekend there were 4 dogs in our house (each daughter has a dog). At first my daughter's little rescue (maltese & ?) acted like she was going to attack but after about an hour, the dogs all got along great and did so for the entire week's visit. I think you have to monitor them and I would not leave them alone together in a room. Jealousy or fear can cause them to attack and hurt or kill another dog. A dog was killed recently in my neighborhood by another medium sized dog. |

Well we just gated off the area we are sitting in while I am here over night so they are not together. I don't want to get that supprize reaction out of the doberman because gizzie cant be friendly. My other sister has a pomerianian and they did the sniff thing to each other today then proceeded to ignore each other. I am going to look into this furthur when we return to Texas next week

| Macy is in agility with a 110 lb. rotwiller, a 90 lb. Wiermereimer (sp) and a Saluki, all of them could snap her in half in 1 second. She is well socialized with people and dogs but something about all the excitement of agility she becomes a little jerk. At last class she ran across the agility ring, under the fence and started jumping at an Afghan Hound's face and ears. She has no fear of any dog. It has always been suggested that when you bring two dogs together, start with a walk in a neutral place.

| My Westie is very aggressive with bigger dogs and it worries me to no end. He's going to lash out at the wrong dog. After going to a trainer - he has gotten waay better on walks; not lunging and carrying on at any dog walking by. But I know that he still could not be in the same room with a big, strange dog. We just never got there. He is ok with smaller dogs; preferably female.

| You can try training, but some dogs are impossible with other dogs. I would personally avoid situations where he is around larger dogs.
