A while ago i was on her asking for advice on mr springer age 5 never fights even now with other dogs but has been fighting with my sons staffy age 11 months, staffy plays with older b collie and he listens to her when old off but not to springer. anyway update is staffy now been castrated 5 days ago they have been kapt apart 3 weeks now tho see each other tru doors and windows of house, i have contacted a trainer as well about reintroducing for peace of mind as i want to try and resolve what was a great relationship, i have learnt more about staffys so a bit more clued up on their characters, anyway have been told to give staffy 1-2 weks after castration and walk both dogs to ensure acalmer attitude after good walk, will do this seperately, then to put both on leads , have also broght 2 muzzles as a precaution, then to let them sniff each other in turn nose to backside, if any impolitness takes place tell them off with leads and voice ,if it does not work to put them on sides in submission till calm, i feel fairly confident doing this but would like anyones advice as would rather have more experienced person out to do this if neccessary what are your thoughts and thanks for reading
 
The dominance roll is a awful idea IMHO.

But i do agree with exercising them first and letting them meet in neutral territory.

I would also wait longer than a week or 2 after castration.
 
My main thought it that at the end of the separation, it will have been a very long time for them to be separated, if you know what I mean? So there still may be a bit of tension after the first reintroductions.
Agree with Katie, putting dogs in drive on their side can go one of two ways, I wouldn't do it without guidance, especially if there are going to be two, potentially 'high' dogs in the room, I would have your trainer assess both dogs before you think of doing it.
