Do weiner dogs and labs make good friends? Would they enjoy hanging out while home alone?
We already have a one year old chocolate labrador who loves going to the dog park and swimming at the lake. However, we were looking for a friend for our lab to have while we’re away at work, and hopefully for her to play with as well. The dog we’ve had in mind is a weiner dog, because they’re adorable. So, my question is, how well would weiner dogs and labradors get along and would they play together?

My roomate and I both just got dogs. I got mine, a blue heeler, about a week or two before he got his yellow lab. My blue heeler went after his dog right away but seemed to calm down that night. We went to bed, my dog escaped my makeshift pen and when I woke up they were both hanging out downstairs no problem. They are usually ok with each other but when I bring my dog in from a walk he always goes berzerk. It happens every single time that when he comes in he goes right after the lab. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The first couple times the lab was right at the door and I attributed it to the surprise. The last few though he’s been visible but on the other side of the house.
How can I get my dog to greet other dogs properly?
How can I get my dog to act like a normal dog when he meets other dogs? He runs up to them and starts barking and running round them, occasionally trying to bite them. I got him from a rescue home a few months ago and he still hasn’t changed. He’s a Jack russel cross but he doesn’t nip or anything. I just want him to behave like a normal dog when he’s around other dogs.
I walk him in a nearby field and let him of the leash. He’s also neutered.
How to train my dog not to be aggressive with other dogs?
I have a dog (8ball) he is a retriever mix and about 10 months old. I have been trying to walk him but every time we run into a dog he tries to attack.
I turn around and try to go the opposite way but he just pulls and growls. I really want to be able to take him to the dog park and let him play with other dogs and play fetch at the park instead of our small backyard.

What are some little dogs that rock at agility? I’m talking in the 8-13 inch dogs at the withers (shoulders) I am getting a smaller dog but I’m not sure if she’ll be good at agility so I would like to know of some other little dogs that do really well.
{ 18 Comments }What breed of dogs are comparable to Golden Retrievers and labs in personality?
I love Golden Retrievers but I would like to get into another breed. My mother in law has labs so I would like something different. I don’t care if it is a small dog or a big dog but I love the personality of Golden and I can not find a dog that is as perfect as a Golden. I want it to be good with kids and all people and other animals, dogs and cats alike. I want it to be loving and loyal and very playful. I want it to be sweet and gentle. Is there such a dog?
