Thank you for sharing your situation, YL. My dog has never played well with other dogs; almost as if she doesn’t know how to just play. She loves to play chase with them and will try to get another dog to run but if the other dog doesn’t want to play or wants to play with more of a “playfighting” style then she doesn’t just play; she gets aggressive and has gotten herself into a couple fights so I do not take any chances now.

But my big takeaway from this is Logan’s comment that a dog does not HAVE to play with another dog! I always got the feeling that she is very content to have only people around but I thought I was depriving her or not training her completely her if I didn’t have her around other dogs. Unless I am misunderstanding Logan’s comment?

Because the problem now is that another dog is living with us and her possessiveness of me is a big issue. But I’ll look for a discussion on that subject 😉
