Hi
We currently have a male neutered Dashound who has never had any issues with big dogs or any other dogs at all he is a year and a couple months. When he was a few months old he was attacked by a big lab which bit his face.
The other day we were at the SPCA here and fell in love with a Husky cross and decided to bring him home. when we first introduced chester to the new dog toby he right away was very aggressive and would snap at tobys face. Toby is very timid and has already tried to show chester numerous times that he does not want to be dominant or attack him and will lay down and roll over showing his stomach and throat he has never reacted when chester snaps at his nose, Toby is only 6 months old. Right now because we do not want either of the dogs getting hurt we have them separated blocked off by baby gates so they can still smell each other. It is just getting really hard to keep them apart. Chester now doesnt lunge at his face and will sit and smell him barely showing his teeth and very rarely barking. we want to introduce them to each other because neither is going anywhere. We were thinking muzzleing both of them until they get used to each other...
Any ideas? we just dont want anyone getting hurt and we love both of them so much we just really want them to get along.
Please Help!!
