Considerations Before Introducing Your American Eskimo Dog
Before introducing your American Eskimo Dog to other dogs, it is essential to consider the dog’s temperament and socialization history. If your dog has a history of aggression or fear towards other dogs, it may require special attention and training. Also, consider the other dog’s temperament, breed, and socialization history before introducing them to your American Eskimo Dog.
It is crucial to ensure that both dogs are up to date with their vaccinations and health checks before introducing them. Illness and disease can cause stress and aggression, which can lead to an unsuccessful introduction. Additionally, consider the size and age of the dogs. Introducing a small and young dog to a larger or older dog can be intimidating and cause fear. Your American Eskimo Dog should be comfortable with its size and age range before introducing them to other dogs.
