These aren't my dogs but my one dog was involved. My dog (Jack Russell Terrier mix) was trying to make friends with a dog that one of my friends brought home about 6 weeks ago. My dog is very very friendly and she loves other dogs. The dog she was trying to make friends with was a female Scottie Dog (Scottish Terrier) and they have a male Bichon Friese. The bichon was very possessive over the scottie. Which is weired because my female Terrier and the bichon have been friends for almost a year no problem. But he did not want any dogs in the play group messing with the scottie. And the scottie seemed very submissive toward the bichon. How do you deal with an overly possessive dog (of another dog)? How do you fix something like that. Also he wasn't letting her go near the other dogs and he didn't want her near my dog, like he suddenly got possessive of my dog as well (Basically whatever dog he played with at the time he became very defensive/possessive of) He was never like that until they got this new dog? What to do?
He acted that way toward all the dogs there. If he was playing with a particular dog be it mine or another, the dog he was playing with he acted like that dog was his and no other dog he was letting near

I'm asking more for my knowledge than anything. I felt a little uncomfortable with the play date today. Probably won't be doing another play date with them for awhile, things got a little rough.
