I realize this is only the second night I have had Pearl home but my son and I took both dogs out tonight for walks. I went out the back with Rocco and he went out the front with Pearl and we met at the corner. Pearl was almost immediately aggressive towards Rocco when they got within 6 feet of each other. Her tail was wagging but she was snarling, growing, and barking. We managed to get them around the block for a walk without any further incidents other than one or two hurmphs from Rocco when Pearl got right up beside me; he was then okay, however, even though she remained fairly close to me. We walked them back to our back yard from around the side of the house at the end of our walk and brought them together in the back yard, distanced by their leads. Pearl continued to snarl, growl, and bark at Rocco. He did bark back and bounce at her some but mostly stood behind me. Does this sound like something that can be worked out or should I return her to the Humane Society. I'm aware of what that will probably mean for her but my first priority is Rocco. I've been reading threads on this and haven't seen anything that sounded this extreme. She did not do this at the Humane Society (according to them) and I did not witness it when I was there with her and other animals, including dogs, were walking by her. Help! She's getting spayed on Friday - will this help? I don't want to let them go at each other because she would kick his butt!
