My beautiful 5 year old Kelpie/New Zealand Huntaway X Triton is a GORGEOUS
boy. I love him to bits but feel disappointed that he isn't as playful with
other dogs as my previous dog was. He's great with people & children but
either ignores or, in cases where he's faced with a dog with a similar
nature to him, wants to attack. I accept that he'll never like certain dogs
& I try to keep him out of situations where he encounters dogs I know he
doesn't like, but I'm wondering if there is some way I can encourage him to
be more playful with the ones he does like.

I'm so sorry about the other dog aggression issues. I commend you for
taking other dog's safety and your liability into account until you get
this aggression under control.

I hope it gets fixed soon, and the muzzle can come off forever. At least
you have comfort that you are protecting others, as well as your dog until
then. good luck with that.
