Hi all
I'm hoping for some advice for a friend if anyone can offer some help please.....
She has an 18 month old desexed male pure bred English Staffie and is about to move in with her parents. They have a three year old male in tact maltese x shih tzu. When they see each other currently there is a mass of frenzied tail wagging, and seriously over excited jumping all over each other in a manic fashion but the Staffie is far heavier and stronger and it all looks like it will go dreadfully wrong. It is such an over excited frenzied "play" it borders on really worrisome.
The Maltese is not used to being off lead whereas the staffie is regularly off lead.
As they are shortly going to be living together - what is the best approach to getting them socialised and settled together please?
It is the staffie moving into the Maltese's home territory. Maltese seems fairly happy to see Staffie, but it is so FULL on it makes both owners seriously nervous about what might happen next.
As their tails are wagging, do they need to just get it out of their system and go for it (supervised)??
Thanks in advance
Annie
