When Scooter came to live with us we already had two dogs. There was a lot of claiming of territory, mainly by Scooter, and the other two (females) were a bit confused by all the growling and barking but eventually things settled down. It did take a few weeks and to this day sharing of toys is not what they do best. It never fails that whatever our females have......Scooter wants it and will bark and act nutty until he gets it. I never have been afraid that they would hurt one another but the process of getting along does take some time. Hang in there it will get better.
