Does Your Dog Like Other Dogs?

It depends with Simba. Some dogs he likes - some he doesn't. He generally doesn't like overly hyper dogs. Female dogs and puppies he's best with.

But Simba does have his boyfriends too...Duke, Jack and Taggert!!


All three of ours get along very well with other dogs.

Well, of course! How could he not get along with three handsome men like that?

We adopted a cattle dog in 2002 from a rescue group....she was 2 yrs old at the time. Initially, she didn't seem to mind strange dogs. Thru out the duration of her first obedience class, she behaved herself like a princess. But gradually, over 4-6 months with us, she startled us by becoming "leash" aggressive towards dogs on our walks. [Going off leash didn't seem to help, either].

We have worked w/her these last two years with professional behaviorist's and she still gets her hackles up and will snap at a dog if it gets too close. We use "treats" to keep her "occupied" when we pass dogs on our walks....it does the trick unless the other dog gets too close or is an "reactive dog" too.

We've pretty much accepted that this is just the way she will always be.
She came w/very little background info when we adopted her.
She is extremely well trained, and very affectionate.......her aggression towards dogs seem to be "fear" induced.

Sesh gets along with pretty much every dog. He used to have a thing against poodles, especially standard poodles, but I think he's grown to realize that they're okay..

Megan's good with other dogs as long as they don't bug her too much.

Miksy is good with other dogs, but he does not like it at all when dogs jump on him... He doesn't really like puppies. He's just an old man who likes his personal space. lol

Monica pretty much hates any dog that's not part of the family lol.

Miko just wants to play with everyone. He does great with other dogs though.. If they get really mad at him when he's trying to play with them, he respects their authority and goes to bug someone else LOL. He's still a pup though..

Clover is great with pretty much all dogs, unless it is one of the small fluffy's that attack first and she does not like Rottweilers all that much.

Elvis loves other BCs and simalar working/ herding breeds. He will get along with almost every dog offlead (Apart from Gus the Boxer and the dominant Lab pup from the park). Onlead he will very rarely be nice , unless it is one of his "Mates".

Penny get along ok with most dogs unless they get pushy, and she does not like black Labs.

Theo is shy around new dogs, but will warm up to them after a few outings.

[Oggyflute]

Both Oggy & Flute love other dogs and can't wait to be able to run and play games with them. They are always invited over when we go to friends that have dogs.

Cali, they are total snobs! I think they do understand each other better... Gonzos best friend in the world is a BC named Jesse, and Jesse is crazy and herds Gonzo while they're playing. he has nipped him many times, but its only playful and he never hurts him. Once we actually had to take Gonzo to the vet because Jesse nipped his nose hard and it was gushing blood it stopped quickly and was just a ruptured vessel, though!

Di, I can't wait to meet Miko! he sounds super sweet ^^

[RobiLee]

Tori is great with other dogs. She can be very submissive and seems to know when to be that way. She is very playful and wants nothing more then to play play play!!!

Katie does not like other dogs. I wish there was some way I could change this. I shouldn't say she doesn't like other dogs, she just wants them to be extremely submissive. I'm watching out the window right now and her and Tori are romping and having a blast outside in the little bit of snow that we got yesterday and I'm wondering why she can't play with other dogs like that. It makes me sad. I keep wondering if there is some hope and something I can do about this. Does anyone have any ideas on how to change this behavior?

Blaze likes most dogs, usually smaller.

Oz is Mr. Popular. Haven't met a dog yet that he doesn't love and most seem to love him back.

Murph is pretty particular. He loves Oz and any Golden Retriever he sees, but with any others, you just never know. He tolerates Gull. Hated Idgie.

Gull loves Oz and he seems to like Murph too. He tries to play with him, but Murph only has eyes for Oz. Other dogs, Gull doesn't seem all that enthused. In puppy class, he'd play a lil' while with'em, then he wanted to go off and explore. He hasn't been aggressive towards any other dogs, but he has had some he barked at. For the most part, he just seems more interested in people then dogs.

Tasha's always been really good around other dogs. I can't think of any time she has ever instigated a spat with another dog, other than Tommy and they don't fight she just yells at him when she feels he's pushing his boundaries. She has always seemed to slip into the role needed depending on the other dog, a submissive role around a very dominant dog, and a dominant role around a very submissive dog.

Tommy oddly seems somewhat indifferent to other dogs, but then often when we are out he is nervous about other things so maybe that's why he doesn't show much interest. He also always takes a very submissive/low key role around any dog he's met.

Molly doesn't seem to like other dogs.. she gets along with Daisy great, but she especially doesn't seem to like hyperactive small dogs. When we go to the dog park, she's usually a "loner" and will only interact with other dogs besides Daisy when she sees them running or if she sees them playing (she loves to bark and
'cheer' them on ).

Daisy loves other dogs, especially puppies, but she can be very submissive around large, strange dogs. She prefers people.
