Chipper went after Max again

[ramanth]

We haven't seen Max since the last 'encounter'. Mainly because our schedules are very different.

Chipper hasn't bothered anyone else (various dogs at the dog park; Calypso; or the new pitbull, Roxey, that moved in).

Kimmee I am sorry to hear about this, but after 14 yrs with Goofy I tend to agree it may just be your neighbors dog rubs him the wrong way, I have seen Goofster behave terrific with the same dog in a certain sitch, and then behave like a nut in another one, I have also seen her just take an immediate dislike to another dog period. To the point that she will go in her crate and shut the door behind her rather than have me scold her( more like I know you wont like me being aggressive so I will go lie down before you put me in here). I do hope this wont cause issues with your neighbor, and I hope for his sake that he (your pup) relaxes a bit so he can find a great new buddy!We can never have enough fun buddies to spend lazy summer afternoons playing with can we?

Tonight Max and Calypso were outside playing unbeknownst to me when I took Kia and Chips out for their nightly constitutional.

After they pottied, I asked Jim if he was fine with me letting Chipper off leash. He said to give it a shot.

Chipper charged up to Max, who submitted instantly. They sniffed, licked, and then began to play.

Chipper can be a bit overbearing and dominant which I reign in and he thankfully listens. Max is a sweetheart to put up with Chipper's shenanigans.

Kia just adores Max and play bows to him. And I can thank Calypso who loves to tackle Chipper and divert his attention when he's picking on Max.

So while they may not be best friends, I'm glad it's not all out aggression.
