In July I adopted a second dog. Dog1 and Dog2 are different breeds but a similar size and age and do get on very well the majority of the time. There have been no fights or agression or anything like that in the house.
They are walked 3 times a day, 2 together and 1 separate. They get on perfectly fine if they are both on the lead or if Dog1 is off and Dog2 is on. If I let Dog2 off and he starts running Dog1 goes absolutely bonkers. Snarling, barking, snapping and just working himself in to a frenzy, even when he's on the lead and being distracted with treats, toys etc. It's awful and terrifying for both Dog2 and me. Obviously now I only let Dog2 off when he is alone but I want to work through this issue. It's unfair that Dog2 should often be on the lead when he is not the problem.
Dog1 happily runs around with other dogs with no issues and always has. When introductions were made between Dog1 and Dog2 originally they played really well together several times.
I'm waiting to hear back from a dog trainer but was wondering if anyone had any advice in the mean time?
