I believe it depends on the types of interactions. If they are normal, friendly interactions between the two it will help socialize your dog and help them recognize what behaviors are acceptable or not within a pack of dogs. Although at the same time, if the interactions are violent or stressful then it could exacerbate the problem. Also, interactions with just one other dog may help it become sociable with that one particular dog and not neccessarily other dogs. But overall, I think it's worth trying to socialize and expose your dog slowly to others to help with any aggression issues. Hope this helps! -Dr. Gordon
