My puppy is 12 weeks old, the other day I took him round to my mums house to meet her dog. I knew that my mums dog was a little bit protective of his toys I.e. moves them when people come near but I’d never seen any aggression before.
When my puppy arrived my mum’s dog was growling so much and it was genuinely really scary. Thankfully no physical altercation.
I’m really scared now because a) I don’t want my puppy to be traumatised and now be fearful of other dogs! b) I don’t know how to broach seeing my mums dog again, realistically they are going to need to get along somehow? I just need that to be with as little stress as possible for both dogs.
The whole thing has really stressed me out and I don’t know what the best next steps are!
