How to introduce dogs

Posted on May 8, 2009 · Filed under: Dog Behavior 

Here’s a nice post on the That Mutt blog about introducing dogs.  Most important points:

  1. Don’t introduce dogs face to face
  2. Get them both good and tired before they meet
  3. Walk together for a little while (like we do in our buddy walks)
  4. After 5-20 minutes of walking, let them sniff each other
