I have been asked to dog sit for a dear friend. I have a 4 yr old peke who is extremely protective...( I swear they really do know they are "royalty") Anyway, I have to stay at this friends house for a week ( they have a pug, and two black labs) I am bringing the peke with me...any tips to keep doggy fights at bay?

Slow introductions are key. I'd suggest introducing your dog to these dogs one dog at a time to prevent a "gang up" on your Peke.Do not leave your dog unattended with these dogs either. Make them sleep in separate rooms and carefully monitor feeding times and any interactions with toys to minimize resource guarding.
