Our puppy Charlie Jo is now a little over 1 yr old and our older shizoo mix Katie Jo) is almost 8yrs.
And she really didn;t care for him much in the begining and she was soo much bigger that when she snapped at him it scared us to death.And of course he would scream and squill if she did,which now I think was his way of telling her she was too rough and it took a good while, but he would keep going back and fininally after a couple months,she started to play back,and now they are aways together and love each other so much they can even eat out of the same bowl and no growling or snapping.We just let them know we are the boss and then her and then him.It will happen just give it time.I enjoy watching them together soo much it is more fun than I have ever imagined.
