Question
Can I ever trust Taz with another "dog" He used to want to start all the fights. For over a month now he hasn't started one or tried too thanks to alot of exercise and training, I just wanted to know really will i ever be able to not give him the da name?
He has only ever started when another dog has started first like lately we always seem to bump into a two akitas who start and look as if they want to finish off my lot and my lot seem to know it and they go crazy towards them.
Even Cassie seems to know they are a threat (which she never has before) she howls and cries at them.
Taz has even allowed males to come pretty close as i always allow my girls to get a good greeting and i allow Taz to have a sniff of the back end (never face to face)as i know this can cause problems with any dog.
Could i ever let Taz off with another male?
Lately thanks to Cassie being in season he has been on edge but its been nothing i'v not been able to handle he has just snaped rather than try to actually fight if that makes sence.

Re: Question
I think you'd need to start with a dog you know is friendly & 'bomb proof' and put a muzzle on Taz. I know he probably wouldn't need it, but just to be sure. If that goes ok, then try without a muzzle, but be prepared to step in if it starts to look dodgy.
I know you've done a lot of work with him, and he's doing really well, but I don't think a truly da dog will ever really lose that instinct. It may lay dormant, and he'll be ok around other dogs, but it wouldn't take much to set him off.

Re: Question
I don't know another alright dog to set him up with and the thing i'm worried about is him having a short fuse from here on in, I'v never witnessed a complete turn around with da dogs not where off leash and unattended is possible. Guess i should count my blessings that he doesn't just attack anymore and that he has a great time with the girls and other dogs he's been brought up with.

Re: Question
I think that's the thing - you know know his strengths & weaknesses so you'll know how to read him. That's the art of being a good owner!
