I have a four year old and a big dog. My collie is almost 11 and she tolerates Zoe and sometimes even seems to enjoy her but she's gentle but sometimes definately gives a little growl to say stay away from my food dish or that's my toy. I think she was just used to being the only one for so long. She does know though that I'm the one in charge and that makes things much easier. As for my 4 year, Zoe and him are best friends. Since she really can't play with the older dog, my son has become her playmate. They play tag alot! But we do have the rule that he is not supposed to pick her up, he needs to be sitting to hold her. And I do remind him a lot to be careful. I think it can be done but you have to be willing and committed to training all 3 of them! Good Luck! |
