We have a 10 month old female German Dhepherd. She has never been allowed to meet or socialize with other dogs. Is there a safe way to introduce her to other dogs?
Full Question:
I have been reading your website tonight and was hoping that you could assist me with a problem we have with our two labs. The golden lab is 5 yrs old and the chocolate lab is 3 yrs old. Over the last year they have been fighting viscously on and off however over the last month it has become more frequent. The chocolate is becoming possessive of my husband and I, and she attacks the gold when she feels the gold is overstepping the mark (ie. steps forward before she does). I have read about the 'prong collar,' what is it and would it help in this situation? Can you offer any advice, is there hope that they can live together in harmony?Kind Regards

Cindy's Answer:
This is a common sense no-brainer – keep these dogs separated. A prong collar is not going to fix this. Two dog crates or two dog pens will fix it (or find another home for one of the dogs) By continuing to allow these dogs to be together comes under the heading of animal cruelty.
