    Hiya, I have a three year old lab and my sister has a 3 year old PomChi who has fear aggression.
    We have worked hard to get the PomChi to get on with my dog and this had been going very well.
    But, a friends dog was at my home when my sister turned up with her PomChi. My friends dog had a snap at the PomChi in which he retaliated. Then my lab went in and a full fight ensued with my dog and my sisters dog - to the point where my sisters dog needed veterinary treatment for puncture wounds from my dog.
    I am seriously concerned as if we would not have parted them, my sisters dog may well have been more seriously injured or worse.
    My dog has always been well socialized and friendly.
    It did happen in my porch (a very confined space) and I panicked and was shouting at her to stop which I now know is the wrong thing to do.
    I did manage to get her off my sisters dog luckily.
    Is this a one off or should I seriously think about a behaviorist for my dog?
    ANY advice is much appreciated
