With aggression issue, it is always best to have a professional supervise the introduction as any misstep can lead to serious harm. For safety purposes, the introduction should take place in an enclosed area where the dogs cannot escape and any potential conflicts can be quickly contained. Depending on the individual dogs, introducing them in stages with plenty of treats and reassurance may work best. Working with a behaviorist or trainer familiar with dealing with aggression issues may also be necessary for successful introduction and ongoing compatibility between the two animals.

Start by keeping them separate in different areas and gradually introduce them to each other in a calm manner. Place both dogs in a neutral area, such as a park or an open grassy field, and let them interact under the supervision of an experienced owner or trainer. Reward any positive behaviors that occur with treats and praise. Be prepared for the interaction to be tense and potentially reactive; make sure that both dogs are on leads and that you are ready to intervene should either dog become aggressive. For aggressive animals, it can be beneficial to have multiple hands-on people for reinforcement during the introduction period.
