Choose a neutral location
Keep both dogs on leash
Have a second handler if possible
Keep leashes loose, not tight
Let the dogs see each other from a distance first
Walk them parallel to each other
Watch for relaxed body language
Allow brief sniffing if both dogs seem calm
Break up the interaction if either dog stiffens, growls, or lunges
Keep initial meetings short
Reward calm behavior
Avoid forcing direct face-to-face contact
Separate them if tension rises
Repeat short, positive meetings over time
Supervise closely until you are confident they get along
