Last Sunday i brought my Benjy a 6 month old rescue stray pup to dogathon. This is his first outing, He behave okay when ppl pat him or when he alone. But when other dog regardless male/female or bog/small come near him apart from his brother Bobby he start to sound growl when the dog hang out beside him at certain of period, let said about 20 sec, I do time.. But after awhile spending time at the dogathon, he start to be okay with the "familar" dog and will wag his tail once in awhile and sniff awhile but when he again saw other unfamilar dog he start again. Is he aggressive towards other dog or simply he is not so comfortable with the surrounding?? Tension? Scare? Worry? Panic??? Can he be more relax and friendly if i bring him out more often and social with other dog will help?
Cheers ya,

Right. Take him out to experience different situations. He seems to be a bit scared; maybe you rescued a doggie, which had bad experiences with other dogs. Socializing would help him thru this. Try to stay aside and calm (I know that is difficult) when he is making the acquaintance and do NOT pet your doggie while he growls at other dogs. If you think the other dog is OK then say firmly NO to his growl and that’s it. Show him the right way and make friends with that dog, enthusiastic, happy and joyful.
Yupe..me also think that he got too nervous with all the dog and ppl around..maybe he felt threaten Yupe me going to bring him out 4 jungle trekking once he finish all the shot and heartworm shot and etc..for now i often bring him to car ride and other dog friend home..now have to call it a quit due to the bad haze..

He will be a JT fan in no time, especially when he is following Bobby, right? Have fun.
Yes he will be..but i bet the first few time he will be very nervous and very not happy with the surrounding..i bet alot of growling will come to him..but no fear..patience is my key of success...

I doubt that. You are his alpha and if he has the bond with you then he will look up at you. If you do not show any sign of stress but showing great joy (as a real JT fan, no problem for you) then he will enjoy the new experience as well. Just do not move to fast, give him time to sniff and “digest” all the new smells, sounds, etc. which are along the JT. Don’t say much or show concern over his slow approach, it would increase the stressed feeling for him and he might interpret your “support” as being in full agreement to the potential danger. Just enjoy the JT as usual and let yourself and Bobby be his guide. Have fun.

B4 u first brought back the stray pup, what did u see it do? Was it with the mom/dad? If so, the parents can show Benjy who r the other dogs. But if without.... You gotto take him outdoor alot. You pup wont get use to other dogs easily if Bobby nvr tell him what 2 do.
MAybe your pup is still young and thought that bigger doggies can bully him. When u want to meet another dog with the pup, then let Benjy sniff the dog first. Or else the same thing happens
