Our last two dogs also hated every other dog. Now we have a Doberman puppy whose father is 90 pounds, and the vet said he’ll be 100 pounds, so the idea of him hating other dogs was quite unacceptable. We enrolled him in puppy socialization classes, and spent a lot of time at Lowe’s, pet stores, Goodwill, and other places where he can see other dogs in public. Now he loves other dogs. He gets so excited every time he sees another dog, and always does his play bow with his little tail going a mile a minute. Unfortunately most people don’t socialize their dogs, so he’s not usually greeted very happily by the other dogs. We need to find him some playmates in the area, because he absolutely loves playing with other dogs.
My dogs love other dogs, but other dogs tend not to like them because my beagle screams really loud when excited and my mini goldendoodle tries to make beagle noises and it comes out kinda scary sounding lol
Haha, that’s funny about your golden doodle. They’re very smart dogs, so it’s not surprising that it’s trying to copy the beagle. One of our last dogs was a springer spaniel mix and he would roo roo all day long. He was by far the most vocal dog I’ve ever met.
I think the other dogs don’t like your dogs because people just don’t socialize their dogs properly, so they’re uncomfortable with other dogs. I know that the two I told you about were not socialized properly at a young age because we didn’t know any better. Once they hit a certain age their personalities are pretty set, and it gets very difficult to socialize them.
My parents got a dog in 2020 and she is incredibly wary of people and other dogs because she couldn’t get socialized. My parents can’t have guests the dog doesn’t already know. She’s a great dog, just anxious because she didn’t get the exposure she needed as a puppy because of the pandemic.
Oh yeah. COVID was the worst. Some funny things came out of it, though. My grandma adopted a dog during the pandemic and I jokingly said she should name the dog Rona, short for Coronavirus. She fuckin did. The dog’s full name is Rona Jean Nelson. Nelson is the last name of the fictional black man my grandma said she was engaged to to piss off our racist extended family. The dog goes crazy if you sing to her “Roni Toni Sliced Baloney!”
