I agree.. I read that when introducing a new dog or puppy into a family you must always have your first dog on your lap petting her while petting your second dog that is on the floor.. This shows that your first dog is the pack head and the second dog or pup that he/she is second..
Welcome to YT and congrats on your new pup...
