Its important that your dog meets other dogs and they can be of an older age or younger. Your dog needs to meet with all types of dogs, all breeds. Young and old, large or small. Your dog will benefit from having contact with other dogs. When he meets other dogs it must be a pleasant experience and enjoyable one, so he can feel confortable and especially gain his confidence. Its best to introduce your dog by choosing calm friendly dogs that are not over-excited. So he won’t get excited and anxious. Its best when he is introduced to good natured dogs of all shapes and sizes. Remember however not all dogs are friendly but don’t try to be over protective as your dog has to learn about other dogs personalities on his own. Its good to know other dogs may ignore him and some will tell him to go away. As long as you see the dog is not agressive he will be fine but if you see the other dog wants to fight its best to just back away slowly and let him continue to meet other dogs that are not agressive. In time he will learn to choose his buddies just as we do. Its all lessons in dog manners. It is good for your dog to mix with other animals too, people keep all kinds of animals but be sure to keep a distance where your dog will be safe. Slowly but surely your dog will learn how to mix in with other dogs, and stay away from animals he may be curious about. Then he can look forward to visiting the park and playing with the other dogs.
