My GSD cured JRT's fear of big dogs!

I had to come brag a little bit, because now I am insanely proud and the achievement probably feels a whole lot bigger than it really is.

A while ago we watched over a neighbors Jack Russel Terrier whom for a long time has been aggressive towards large dogs (this started about a year ago when it was attacked by a large dog) and since then it's been acting out towards ALL large dogs. Barking, growling, showing teeth and even biting occasionally.

My Odin has never shown any sign of aggression and is normally a quite gentle dog so we decided to let them loose together to see how it went. The first time the JRT was quite aggressive and snapped after Odin when he came up to it. Being the puppy that he is, Odin just wanted to play and when he was met with hostility he just walked away. After two days together, they where playing happily and even lying on the lawn together and relaxing in the sun.

Now a while later, the owner of the JRT has told me that her dog can now be around large dogs and doesn't react aggressively anymore! If that's thanks to Odin or not we of course don't know for sure, but I choose to believe that it is

Great job Odin!!! That is a huge accomplishment. Now the JRT is free to express himself without fear. Definitely huge accomplishment.
