Why does your dog lie down when approaching other dogs?
Your dog may lie down when approaching other dogs as a sign of submission or to show that they are not a threat. This behavior can help reduce tension and prevent potential conflicts during interactions with other dogs. It's a natural way for dogs to communicate and maintain social harmony.
Why does your dog cower when other dogs smells its back end?
This is a sign on anti-social behaviour. Sitting down or moving away when other dogs attempt to smell the rear end is a sign that your dog does not want, or does not know, how to react or be social with other dogs. Perhaps your dog didn't get enough socialisation with other dogs when it was a puppy? Try to let your dog spend as much time as possible around strange dogs. If it continues to sit down, keep it moving to prevent this. Hope this helps!

Dogs jump on other dogs (and people) as a sign of playfulness and over-excitement. Some dogs are naturally very active and boisterous in play or in greeting another dog or a person, and will often display its happiness by jumping and leaping. You can try to curb this behaviour by allowing your dog to calm down before letting off the lead to play or greet other people. Praise the dog when it is calm, and calmly lead the dog away to a quieter spot to calm down if it gets too boisterous.

What is a safe way to introduce dogs to each other?
Dogs need to be introduced off property in neutral setting, with both on leash. With another handler, casually and slowly allow the dogs to approach one another: do not force a straight line approach and do not set the pace: leave this to the dogs. When they have gotten within a reasonable distance, you will observe body language: the dogs are communicating with one another to establish intent. Some dogs will boldly go up to others and this may frighten the second dog or cause the second dog to turn its head away or turn its back, or lie down. These are all calming signals. Some dogs approach happily and sniff, this is greeting, others are more slow to approach, may be hesitant, etc. Do not intervene or force the issue. If one dog raises its hackles or begins to lunge/bark/growl, disengage immediately: in this case, walk parallel with the other dog and handler with approximately six to ten feet between you and see if the situation will resolve. Most dogs will offer a great many calming signals when greeting a new dog. you can learn about how to read dog body language by reading Turid Rugaas', "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals".
