 introductions
I did some reading on this before i brought Cleo home b/c my big dogs are 40 and 100 pounds. If possible bring their scents to each other, a bed, blanket, etc. so that they can smell each one another. Then you can do the pen or crate thing. When they do meet face to face stand close and be vigilent. There may be a growl or two but ignore it until you feel it is too much and seprate them without scolding. One of the most important things i read was not to lift the little dog up for the bigger one to sniff because the one who has a higher head is the one charge. Good luck, let us know how it goes! |
