Wondering how to introduce two dogs without stress or tension? Certified Dog Trainer Hannah Richter explains how to handle dog introductions, what successful dog greetings look like, and how to spot signs when a dog meet and greet is not going well.

00:00 Introduction
Not sure how to introduce dogs for the first time? Let’s break down how to make dog meet and greets go smoothly.

00:25 What’s with all the sniffing?
Sniffing is how dogs gather information about each other, including age, scent, and temperament.

01:10 Signs of a successful dog greeting
Relaxed body language, soft movements, and loose posture are signs your dogs are feeling comfortable.

01:34 Signs a dog greeting is not going well
Barking, lunging, stiff posture, pinned ears, or growling can signal discomfort or tension.

02:31 Tip 1: Choose a neutral space
Introducing dogs outdoors or in unfamiliar territory can help reduce territorial behavior.

03:00 Tip 2: Keep dogs leashed and separated
If things feel tense, give dogs space and let them adjust before interacting more closely.

03:32 Tip 3: Reward calm acknowledgment
You can reward your dog for calmly noticing the other dog without forcing interaction.

04:00 Tip 4: Keep interactions brief
Short, positive interactions help dogs build comfort without overwhelming them.
