1.5yr YT & New Pup Hey everyone. I have a 1.5 yorkie lady and just brought home last night a 8 week old Goldendoodle boy! Unfortunately my yorkie doesn't really care for the new pup. Inside she barely will come near him, and stands there with her mouth shut so long that she starts to drool (I've never seen her do this before). Outside he started waddling around and she got angry and tried to scrap with him. I broke it up immediately and took her to her timeout room. He was just kind of oblivious to what she was doing. She still cuddles with me, gets attention, and is eating, just stays on the oppsite side.
I've read that it can take a month or two for older dogs to get used to the new pups, but I would appreciate some more specific advise. Some people have said to let them scrap.. but he's a puppy? Others have said to do what I did and make sure she know's it's unacceptable to fight, but let her still feel him out. I've read to kenel or pen him up away from her when we're gone so she can be in the same room, but not fight.
I'm would appreciate any and all advise on these specifics. I'm not worried over all. I can be very patient and will work to make things go smoothly. I am just hopeful you have some advise to make it go a little easier.
Thanks in advance! ^_^ |
