Learning appropriate play response to a variety of other dog sizes, breeds, play styles, reactivity responses and learning to share space and resources is crucial to any pup.
But owners of giant breeds need to be sure that they expose their pups to small breeds early on in my opinion so they develop a gentleness and don't decide that Whack-A-Mole is a great way to interact.
Luna has met and interracted with a variety of dogs ranging from the Mastiffs Qui and Hoodoo, to Rebecca's little ones Izzy, Lilo and Laney (Boston Terrier, Frenchie and Frenchton) and of course she has my guys - a Collie, a Giant Schnuazer mix and the Scruffermutt Fizz.
She is pretty well versed in every size, shape, hair type, infirmity, age and play style by now but it is important to keep building those skills.
Tonight she attended my group class with Dusty, a 9wk old Collie pup and Luna, a 1yr German Shepherd.
Here is a clip from the social interaction and play portion as well as a bit of the GO FIND game.
