If you're a pet parent, your dream is probably to have you two dog become best friends. Some breeds are known for getting along swimmingly with other dogs, and perhaps your two pups fit that bill.

When approaching another dog, it's best to have the dogs first encounter each other while walking parallel, then nearing closer, eventually letting one dog smell the other's rear end to get familiar.

I can't stress enough the importance of a positive first meeting between two dogs. Their first meeting can set the tone for their relationship, so it's important to make sure you're doing it right.
