Skylar's play date...

When we walked in she was very aggressive to the other dogs, barking growling, nipping but no contact. Thank God for no contact. She was the largest dod in the room. I heard some other owners say "I don't want that dog near mine"

The atendent told me to let her off the leach. I did but was very aprehensive. After a bit of time with Skylar staying by my side she started to venture out and come back. Each venture lasted a bit longer. Soon  she was playing…

Hi, every time Skylar sees another dog she wags her tail and barks / growls. the vet says she didn't get socialization as a young pup. You may recall she is a rescue dog. Well Saturday we are going to a Doggy Play date. This should be interesting.  I am a bit apprehensive but am hoping it all goes well and we are not kicked out. Update to follow.
