Are Pointer dogs good with other dogs?

Yes, Pointers are typically good with other dogs thanks to their outgoing, friendly, and playful nature. They don’t tend to exhibit territorial or protective behaviors and can engage well in group activities, making them suitable for multi-dog households. 

Because of their high energy, you’ll want to help them regulate their play style so they don’t overwhelm small, senior, or lower-energy pups. You can teach this through building a solid recall and using training games that focus on incrementally amping up and then calming down your dog in short bursts. 

You can help build this skill with activities like switching back and forth between playing a game of tug or fetch and then asking your pup to sit or lie down while rewarding them with treats for doing so before getting back into the game. Once your pup is able to engage in a high-activity game and then quickly settle, you can start practicing around other dogs.
