How can I get my Small Dog to be friends with a large dog?
I have a small dog (4 yr old Pekingese male) and my boyfriend has a large dog (3 yr old Akita male). We would like to introduce the two and see if they could become friends. Neither dog is aggressive but the problem is the Akita is so big & the Peke is so small. We have no idea how to approach this.
They have met once - me & the Peke on one side of a fence & my boyf & the Akita on the other. The Akita got a little hyper because he was so excited to see the Peke & barked a few times. The Peke seemed scared & growled a few times whenever the Akita came close.
The Peke has been bitten by a larger dog twice before. The Akita is really playful but doesn't know his own strength.
If anyone has any ideas or advice, I would be very grateful! Thanks!
First of all, don't introduce the dogs with any type of barrier between them, like a fence. Dogs can then "fence fight", and feel protected since the other dog cannot get to them and they can be as aggressive as they want.
Go to a neutral zone, a park, parking lot, somewhere that is not the home turf of either dog, and let the dogs sniff each other. If the Peke wants to hide at first, let him do it. Don't force the dog to visit if they don't want to.
Although you'll have both dogs on leash, make sure you and your boyfriend don't have any feelings of anxiety about the meeting, or these will go right through the leash to the dogs, and they will also become anxious. While this is harder than it sounds, it is critical.
Just relax, and keep a close eye on the dogs. If it's just a matter of barking, let it go. If there's any threat of physical damage to either dog, then separate them, otherwise, let the 2 of them work it out. Typically males are not as aggressive as 2 females, but a little more feisty than a male and female.
They will vie for position, to see "who's the boss", and that's okay. It may take several neutral zone meetings, but they will learn for themselves on how to play.
If they need help, and if the Akita is trained, have the Akita lay down. Keep in mind, however, this is a submissive position, which he may not feel comfortable. Slowly walk the Peke to the dog - the Akita will not seem as large since heighth will be similar to the Peke. Don't allow the Peke to put a paw on top of the Akita, but let them both sniff each other.
