Comments on: How do you introduce a puppy to your other dog? http://pets--1.com/2009/07/25/cat-and-dog/426/ Pets discussion in question and answer format Fri, 25 Dec 2009 15:38:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lyra http://pets--1.com/2009/07/25/cat-and-dog/426/#comment-1894 Lyra Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:37:02 +0000 http://pets--1.com/2009/07/25/cat-and-dog/426/#comment-1894 <a href=""></a> When I introduced my older Golden to my yonger one, i put the younger one in an enclosed area with thise folding gate like things. After a while, the older was comming up to the edge of the encloser and the two were touching noses and batting at eachother's paws. Then I took the little one out of it's area, and the two immidiatly got along. Remember to watch the whole prosses, incase something goes wrong, and be sure to give the older lots of individual attention. Good Luck!!

She's not beating up on the puppy, she plays with it when she feels like it, and she's warning it when she doesn't want to play and not fighting with it or trying to hurt it. She may be avoiding it indoors just because she doesn't want to play. She sounds like she's being really tolerant of the interloper, but just keep a close eye on them for a while. The pup will figure it out sooner or later.

since puppy was taken from its littermates and mother too early – it has missed out on very important socializing — so when your adult dogs tries to let it know it doesn;t want to play – the pup doesn’t understand ( because it was removed from its mom etc. too early) just monitor them and make sure the pup isn’t pestering the adult too much… they will grow to be good friends i am sure

All I can say is give it time. If they're getting along outside, that's a good sign. Make sure they're always supervised when they're together and if the older dog shows aggression, tell him no. Also, make sure the older dog is getting "Special" attention apart from the puppy. Give it a special treat, or take it for a nice long walk without the puppy in tow. It's been almost 4 weeks since I brought the little one home and my 2 are getting along fine now.
