Every time he sees a big dog, he goes CRAZY. A trainer at Petsmart gave me some tips on how to control him when we go for a walk that I will be trying. However, I would really like him to be friendly with them! I am pretty sure he acts "tough" around bigger dogs because he is scared and intimidated by their size. So far from what I've seen, he only gets along with dogs his size or slightly bigger (he's a tweeny). He absolutely hates big dogs like labs, German Shepherds, etc. The main thing I am asking for advice about is whether anyone thinks this plan would work....
My friend recently got a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix. It is only a puppy right now. I brought my dachshund over today to see if they would get along and they got along great! They did not want to stop playing. Since her dog will get way bigger than my dog, I was wondering if they constantly play together as my friend's puppy grows, will my dog eventually get used to the size? Will the dynamic between them change if her dog gets bigger? Would this be a good way to desensitize him to big dogs?
