I have a buddy with a six-month old golden. He and his wife were recently walking with their dog in Anchorage on a trail also open to mushers and their teams. As a team rounded a corner, they stepped off of the trail to let them pass. However, when the team got close, the two lead dogs actually attacked. They pinned my buddy to the ground and tore into his retreiver pup, biting both of them repeatedly during the incident.
All issues regarding how and why the incident happened aside, my buddy is now left with a pup that is terrified of other dogs. Other than socializing his pup with stable dogs, what should he be doing to help the pooch get beyond the experience?
