| 3 dogs too many! i have nala (my yorkie) and we have 2 other dogs a lhasa opso (spell) and a rat terrier shih zu mix (can't sp that one either) anyways nala is very hyper bounces off the walls so she is kept behind a baby gate. we try to get her around the dogs a little bit at a time (supervised very close) to try to get them all use to each other. my lhasa koko is old,over weight and has a lot of sholder and hip problems and she doesn't like nala jumping on her and WILL bite her if she does. so far she only "warned" her and nala seemed to understnad but she just doesn't know when to leave my other dog alone (sisco) yesterday he would growl and snap and her and nala would keep on jumping on him and trying to play bite him. if we continue to do this will she eventually learn that he doesn't wan't to play. i'm not worried about him hurting her but i'm am concerned about the other dog. she isn't mean put she can't get away from nala and i think she is scared nala may hurt her. is it best to just watch them and let nala get close enough to understand when she needs to leave them alone? i also worried about the nala getting around their food (mainly the older ones food) and when sisco is in our laps and nala tries to jump up there he doesn't like it at all!! any suggestions? |

| I say leave them alone and let them work it out by themselves(supervise but don't interfere unless absolutely necessary). And I know this may sound bad but you might have to let KoKo snap at Nala so Nala would know that Koko doesn't want to be jumped on. Same with the other dogs. Don't let Nala get into their food. I wouldn't let her near it until they get used to her. For now, I would feed them all the same time but seperate places. |

| Please be very careful, We had a little yorkie and a mini schnauzer, both pups 8 weeks they played together all the time. One day out of the blue the mini grabbed the Yorkie shook him hard and dropped him splat on the floor. he was dead. So watch them close.

| i honestly do not think that my other 2 would "attack" nala. when sisco came to our house it took koko biting him for him to learn not to mess with her. it's just hard b/c nala thinks they are playing or atleast she is. she thinks it's fun to jump at them and bark and like i said i think koko is afraid of being hurt. sisco will play with her in time when she learns to play not jump all over him at play bite him. we keep their food sepearate and when they are all out together we make sure all the food bowls are picked up . i just wanted to make sure it was ok to let her learn on her own not to mess with them, but when they are all together we watch them very close. |
