I have thought of doing that, but have been a little hesitant. They will both sit on the couch with me, but the lab is tense when it happens. Shes been on a variety of meds due to her reactivity, but they didn't help. Thus, the muzzle. It's often difficult to work with them individually, but we've gotten better with it over time. And ya, he's a big boy, about 3" taller than her. I think she's afraid of him, and he's afraid of her and her muzzle. I'll try some time with just the two of them.

Thanks for the book recommendation, I'll go snag it now.

How are the predictions made in regards to which strains are expected to be prevalent? Where does the data come from?

My wife and I have 13 rescue dogs, and usually things are ok. We only have trouble when everyone is excited, such as going outside to potty, but we have adapted and only let them out one or two at a time.

We do have an 8yr old lab, with a fight/bite history. When she's not in her kennel, she wear a muzzle. Our latest rescue, is a pibble/pyrenesse mix. He's only 8 months, so a little hyper and playful. He and our lab currently seem to have an uneasy truce. But there's a lot of growling and posturing when they are close to each other. How can I ease the tension between the two? So far, our efforts for the last 2 months are failing.
