Doesn’t play nice with other dogs
We took Dodger to our daughters track meet the other day and confirmed that he doesn’t get along with other animals. We were told by the shelter that he did not get along with small children and other dogs/cats. The Coaches Lab was led over to where Dodger and I were sitting and Dodger began to go nuts. It took all I had to hold him back. His heart rate went up and he was growling and barking.
When he has been around my sisters Chihuahua Chico, he simply ignored him. But there were a couple of smaller dogs and Dodger would growl and bark at them also. One family walked by and I did not notice as soon as Dodger did but a very little girl not even paying attention to Dodger set him off.
Of course I knew he did not get along with the squirrels in our back yard as he chases them every chance he gets. We’ll be changing his leash out from the small retractable device to a sturdy nylon if we take him back out again.
