Question
My 6 mo. Bichon goes to small dog and puppy play but when she is there she jumps on the other dogs until the other dog reacts then my puppy starts growling and yapping at the other dog. I try to let the dogs figure it out but it gets to a point where it's so nasty. Is she just not going to be one to play with other dogs or is there something i should try. help!

Answer
she has not been socialised well by the breeder, this role is now yours, so take her to meet other dogs and allow her to play, greet and yes even growl its normally dont with mum in the breeders home.
Puppy socialisation classes will be fine I am sure. But also take her oit to places like shopping centres, parks, etc to see normal life and how it is.
