[QUOTE="CountryGirl, post: 2042955, member: 219667"] Have Friends with dogs he's never met?? if so, have them bring them all over for a play date (everyone on a leash of course) and see how he handles it...he's kinda past the age of socializing, but it can still be done. But if he gets along with your friends' dogs all go on a walk together (if your friends' dogs behave well on a walk he'll learn too) When he acts up on a walk like going after another dog, tug hard on the leash (suggest you get a harness tho if you don't already) it may not work as easy as it sounds, my dog NEVER pays attention to me when there are other dogs around...it just takes time and patience...took me several frustrated tries with my dog. But the key is to just socialize him with your friends dogs and if possible take him places with you...parks...pet stores etc...get him to know a ton of different smells so not just one scent might make him react bad....=) [/QUOTE]
