Bringing Madison home from Florida we stopped to see friends in Atlanta. We already had seen that Madison seemed agressive toward other dogs. Our friends have a year-old lab-golden mix named Cooper who is very laid back. To put it bluntly, Madison went beserk when she met Cooper - barking, growling, straining at her leash - while Cooper just sniffed and looked at her wondering why she did not want to play. We put her in her crate (used just once in Florida) while we sat on the porch. Madison continued to bark as Cooper stared at her in wonderment. After maybe half an hour, Madison had barked herself out!! We released her from her crate and let her approach Cooper. Sensing that he was not threatening she even played a little bit.
Fast forward one year. At New Years Madison and Cooper met again. Play, play, play...even played tug-of-war with Cooper's blanket. What a difference having a good friend makes!
