Hello,

Just sending some pictures of Ziggy enjoying his new home and garden.

Thanks very much for letting us rehome him – he’s great! He’s been learning to be off the lead in a quiet park and play fetch and run, which he only seemed to have done in a garden before.

I do have a query, however. He’s generally very friendly towards other dogs, but has had a few dominance issues with dogs a similar size to him. Everything will seem ok but then either, or both, dogs will suddenly challenge the other. Ziggy will try to put his paw on their back and be ‘top dog’.  We have to pull him away so it doesn’t escalate.

Is there anything we can do to stop this? Ideally we’d like to train him to be off the lead in bigger parks but we don’t want to do this if he can’t be trusted around other dogs.
