help! will this change my sweet Brutus?
« on: August 23, 2005, 11:55:33 pm »
Brutus was off leash with a Rottweiller friend today when the Rotti visciously attacked a small white dog. ( the dog is ok. but in major shock).  Brutus didn't join in right away but when the white dog ran towards him he did grab at him and bite him on the neck.  We figure he was copying the rottie. Brutus has always been very kind but we're afraid him witnessing this act of violence might make him mean.  He didn't seem to understand it wasn't a game.  Any ideas where to go from here? I'm afraid to let him offleash.

I think it depends if he got in trouble for doing?  If he was really playing or defending his friend?
