I own a black labrador and I am looking to buy a maltese puppy in the future. However, I am concerned that the lab may not bond well with the puppy. He is usually a gentle, relaxed dog, but he does go a bit mad in thunderstorms- once it resulted in him killing our pet rabbit. Would there be a danger of him harming another dog?

Can you tell us a bit more about him? What does "going mad" entail? How do you normally help him when he is stressed?

Along with Cigs questions..have you ever had dogs before or is this your first? If you have had dogs, have you ever been able to help a dog work through it's issues in the past? ..Dog became mad enough to kill a rabbit but usually would leave it alone when not under stress??..def need more info please.

A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews up something inappropriate or has a housebreaking accident. Bring the dog over to the destroyed object (or mess), then take the rolled-up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase,"I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG!"
