We adopted my dog Gibbs from a shelter the weekend after Thanksgiving. When we first got him we had some feelings that he may have been a hunting dog in his previous home. He was very eager to jump into the front seat of my fiance's pick up truck, knew nothing about playing only wants to sniff and howl at things, etc. Over the weekend I was dog knapped by my neighbors (they frequently "borrow" Lily to play with their puppy Sammy-a beagle). I went outside immediately because I wasn't sure how Gibbs would behave and I was dissappointed. He kept running their dog Sammy into corners, standing over top of her and howling. We had to pull him off of her 3 times. I really want them all to be friends, but I feel like he just treats her as if she were a rabbit for him to hunt. We said we would try again when Sammy gets bigger, but does anyone have any suggestions of how I could get him to behave better around smaller dogs?
