Does not seem like the white dog wanted to de-escalate what it started and it’s hard for any dog to deal with an overt dominance/aggression move.
Brown dog’s lowered head/body/tail sniff ‘n greet was met with a stiff body/tail/erect head challenge posture.
Doesn’t matter.
Some will only see what they want to see, rather than what’s happening.
Far too many unsocialized doggies out there. I have a friend that had an unsocialized pittie. At about seven months, he decided he was gonna take on Nemo. So he did. Nemo grabbed his neck and threw him to the ground. Duly chastised the pup went back to playing. For about 20 minutes. Then he tried again. Same result. Nemo wouldn’t hurt him. because he was a pup, but he didn’t tolerate his crap, either.
Tnks, I didn’t remember that.
