Do chow chows do well with other dogs?
Children And Other Pets Chows who are socialized and trained well can get along with other dogs and cats, especially if they’re introduced to them in puppyhood. They do best, however, with dogs of the opposite sex; they may fight with dogs of the same sex.
Keep encounters brief! If you’re trying on-leash introductions to other dogs, once you’ve determined the other dog is friendly, allow your pup to sniff, praise them and then move on in less than 30 seconds. You may reward with a treat after you have completely moved past the other dog.
How do you get two dominant dogs to get along?
Let your dogs sniff each other and greet each other normally. Give them positive reinforcement through calm verbal affirmations. After letting them play for a while, put both dogs in a “sit” or “stay”, then let them interact again. Finally, take them on walks together, allowing them to sniff each other along the way.

Is Chow Chow good for first time owners?
Chows are extremely stubborn and incredibly loyal and protective. These can be good traits, but they can also be terrible ones for a first time owner because if you don’t handle these things exactly right someone is going to get bitten by your dog. And chows are huge animals, their bites do a ton of damage.
Socialization should start as soon as the puppy is born. A good breeder lays a foundation for good behavior by handling the puppies every day. As they grow, the breeder allows them to go outside, to play and explore their new world. The pups are introduced to a dog crate and housebreaking.
