Dog Intros

Like people, not all dogs will get along, and you should not expect your dog to get along with all dogs. We suggest on-leash intros and a walk to introduce dogs to one another. Plan at least 30 minutes and take it slow.

  • Allows dogs to see each other

  • Dogs should be separated at first by humans

    • If safe to do so: allow dogs to walk closer to each other and eventually next to each other.

    • Allow dogs to sniff each other for short intervals of time

    • Continue walking and allowing for short interactions

  • If safe, bring dogs to an enclosed area

  • Keep dogs on dropped leashes and allow continued interaction
