[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This dog needs not only a lot of walks, but also off leash exercise and socialization with other dogs.  Husband should take dog on log walk before work that includes 30 minutes of off leash running/play.  Also suggest hiring a skilled walker to do an afternoon walk with other dogs so the dog can start to get some socialization.  [/quote]

Op here. That will be one of the main challenges I think- to socialize the dog with other dogs. He hasn’t really been exposed to other dogs, except the north or dog and they are not allowed to interact because he gets so crazy around him.

Just read up a little about breaking up dog fights and while it was definitely helpful information to have, I have to admit it also gives me a bit of anxiety about walking him. There are a lot of aggressive dogs in our neighborhood, I hear them all the time as they walk past our house.  And unfortunately there is no off leash area for us.

The closest off leash dog park is only a 7 minute drive away, but he doesn’t handle car rides well and I’d be nervous to let him off leash in an area that is not fenced off. It’s an open area with a creek. I’ll do some research to see if there are other dog friendly parks in the area.
