I would probably introduce them slowly. When you bring the new puppy inside, put it/leave it in the crate for a bit and let them sniff each other through there. Then after a little bit, let the puppy out and see how your current dog reacts. Even if they don't get along at first, don't get down! It took about 2-3 weeks for my mom's older dog to accept Jackson into her life. Now they are the best of friends.
Always be sure to give your older dog MORE attention so she knows she is still very important. |
