Re: new dogs to endurance/trail

Anybody have any suggestions for a mare that doesn't like dogs? My mare will
actually go after the dog if she gets in her pasture. To my horror, my dog
was in the pasture sniffing around and my mare, ears back, nose on the
ground, went after her, got on top of her and started stomping her.
Fortunately when I screamed, she looked at me which gave my dog exit she
needed. Is there a way to train her to tolerate my dog?
