submissive/dominant behavior

met a new husky yesterday and it ran at blaze n growled at him n was on him n Blaze was on his back in a 2nd cryin like he was in pain n peed on himself is this the husky bein dominant and blaze submitting to him or was he scared n this dog bein nasty too him? i hope he wasnt as we r hopin to meet weekly for them to play together after a while they seemed fine but blaze was still very cautitious yet bing was fine wit the other husky n was jumpin at him n they were play fighting and everything

help please

also we had arranged 2 meet n she told me blue was fine wit other dogs he was off his lead at this point but she kept him on it afterwards here are sum pics ov blaze and blue near each other







this one was after a while


here he is with bingo you can see the diff n yes i no bingo looks like a rather large rabbit lol


after a while he seemed fine but he was still cautious he seemed better when he was behind blue

I wouldnt worry about it, better than them fighting. I think its just submission towards a more dominant dog Nix :love:

i was more wooried bout the whole him pee-ing himself he seemed terrified

i wouldnt worry hun, at least hes not going in all guns blazing

Hes only young, he'll soon learn he doesnt need to be that submissive as he grows and meets more dogs. Stanley is the same with people, esp women

oh he was also growling at milo aswell but was fine with bingo and played with him

Fazza is the one to ask, shes explains things well

i personnally would have gone f**king mad at the other owner lol that meeting could have caused a lot of issues later on sorry to be harsh but that dog imo needs bringing down a peg or two bing was doing a dominent hug there lol

its a cocky lil shit and should come meet my pack!!! my dogs wen they meet others do so in a calm manner no bulling and me being the leader dont allow that behaviour and if they desplay it are told straight to pack it in


just today Rostam was used with a extremely dog aggressive BC and didnt even look at it flinch or anything as hes a calm and confident dog this dog hasnt been told the correct manner to which meet other dogs blaze on the other hand is being a pup and submitting weeing he is sending a message to the other dog that he means no harm

but this could also be bad for blaze to be put in that situation with out you controling it
i would meet up again hun but be aware to step in wen this dog gets bullisih

cross posted lol

ok thanks fazza i did push the dog off blaze n try 2 get blaze up but by then he had already peed himself the woman had told me he was fine with other dogs n said nuffin bout this which is y we met up thought it wud b nice also she is a friend of my aunties friend so i do no her sort ov n as i pushed her dog away she said its ok hes just assesing his dominance this dog doesnt like being stroked either

also the noise he made was like he was in pain it was horrible :'(

oooh dear faz, that sounds like fred tbh, he would run at another dog too :2431:

nix i would tell this woman its not f**king normal and hes not accertaing his dominence hes being a bully Roatam is a dominant dog a dominant dog doesnt have to assert themselves as their body language and energy do that for them and its not often you meet a truely dominant dog hun if it was me id actually stay clear as the woman no offence sounds like shes not got a f**king clue and is a danger with a dog like that

shelley if fred is like that i would make sure you correct the beahviour hun as he may do it to the wrong dog one day and get hurt what i would do is wen meeting other dogs have him on lead and walk with them first so hes getting used to the dog but in a calm way hes not allowed to rush over and impose upon them then wen he is calm allow the play :love:

its wasier said than done hun, with people you dont know.... they would rather walk off and not bother..

ohhh i thought you ment like with nix wen meeting ppl who want to walk with you

ok thnx fazza just dont no what to say to her as i rly dont wanna sound mean if u no what i mean tho im glad u told me the truth that her dog is just bein a bully and not dominant do u think Bing was the dominant dog in this situation then (Bing barked at him when he was growling at milo n him jumpin at Blue was after Blue had done that to Blaze what do u think?

dont think bing was being dominant hun just older so not gonna take any crap maybe lmao

well if you meet then make sure she has control of her dog hun :love:

do u think it wud b best to just not meet her again tho? i deffo dont want to put my dogs or my friends dog milo in any danger or any other dogs

if it was me or one of my mates i would say just to stay clear lol as it could also teach blaze to become a bully later on in life so yea

ok thanks fazza need 2 get my excuse thinking cap on then lol
