Oh, Thank you for rescuing Dunkin!!!! I have two yorkies and a great pyrenees and they do wonderfully together. There's photos are in my albums.
Any dog, no matter the size can be jealous of the other. The key for you to keep it from becoming a fighting situation is to not allow them to do things like Oscar stealing Dunkin's treats. Oscar needs to learn that it's not allowed. His food is his food and Dunkin's food is Dunkin's food. One day you may give Dunkin a treat that he really desires and he may feel a need to defend his treat from Oscar, so teach Oscar now to have harmony later. And if your loving on Dunkin and Oscar wiggles in demanding the love, don't give in. I'm not saying not to love on Oscar, I mean it needs to be on YOUR terms. (If he's doing this type of thing) I dealt with these issues when I brought Bijou home. Barley was very jealous, but Bijou would steal his food so I had to stop both. Hope that helps. Please, keep us posted on how they are getting along.
PS: I'd love to see pictures of Dunkin! |
