My fiance and I have a three year old black and tan coonhound who loves chasing. We are doing a trial adoption, for a week, with a pit bull who is more of a wrestler when it comes to play style. I want to start off by saying neither dog has been aggressive towards the other during this time beyond the black and tan doing normal corrective things. They'll even chill on the couch together.

Our concern is that figuring out how to balance these play styles. We were unaware that different breeds have different preferred playstyles before this trial adoption began.

I have to imagine dogs can be trained not to engage in certain behaviors, but also eliminating a dog's preferred method of play ... to me it seems like you're doing what's best for you not for the dog.

As trainers/dog owners is it preferential to train around compatible play styles or can two dogs with opposite play styles be happy and active together?
