Lots of training. Lots of exercise." It shows! We met in Beau's front yard, Kenny on leash. Kenny sniffed, and then 85# Beau sniffed back in a very polite way and Kenny didn't jump away at all. Beau has small-dog friends and completely scaled down his play to match Kenny's size. They played tug--Kenny pulling, Beau just standing still. I feel like Kenny really picked up on Beau's easy-does-it vibe. Kenny has a new Big Dog friend! ~Claire

(not to hijack but for all of their well earned rep as serious goobers my labby Shakespeare is actually amazing in how he will adjust playing styles according to the size of his playmate. It is one thing that amazes me)

But I know there'll always be another day. Cause my heart will rise up with the morning sun..and the hurt I feel, will simply melt away ~~~Christine McVie

Of course as soon as I hit the reply, this one will be bumped to the top. Very nice Claire. There's a neighbor with an adult Great Dane who Micky met when he was just 4 months old and 15 lbs. As soon as they met that Great Dane immediately hit the ground in a down and let Micky jump all over him. It was so cute, and I was so impressed. Glad Kenny's met "a gentle giant" too. Jane and Micky

And cough it's especially important for Kenny to continue to meet nice dogs because, in the past, I let Kenny practice mouthing off to badly behaving dogs while on leash. I got tense which made him tense which set up a never-ending loop. Because I didn't know any better. Now I do and I'm learning and it's getting better and better. We still have our moments, like the big GSD in class who stares and plays stink-eye games. But that's a good opportunity to practice too. I love my dog! ~Claire
