There's Always A Problem When My Dog Is Around Other Dogs

So common! Dogs are all individuals! But also, as a culture we seem to think that "normal" dogs like playing with other dogs. Nope. They often don't. And If yours falls into that camp and they are forced to play with other dogs, how do you think that will turn out? 

If that is the case you have to recognize that your dog might not actually be the problem. No level of training will ever fix the OTHER dogs and it will probably never change your dog's personality where he loves being harassed by other dogs.

Nobody will advocate for your dog but you. So you need to know when and how to do that, but also tell your dog if he or she is being a jerk. And it may very well be both!

Don't make socializing your dog something more stressful than it needs to be. Be proactive about evaluating the situation and whether or not it is a good situation to put your dog in. I personally would never put my dogs in a situation with any other dog that I know is going to pester or bully them UNLESS someone is going to step in and put the kibosh on it.  That might mean fewer get togethers where your dog is able to be included because  everyone being on board with controlling their dog's behavior is the only way it works!
