Also, I don't know if I would let her be in the bed quite yet. This is Max's comfort zone, and you might want to ease her slowly into the bed over time. I think he needs more time to adjust to a new puppy and over time he will get used to her. |
I understand the way he feels, and want to make this transition as easy as possible for both of them, he is used to being the only one, and she is used to being with mom and siblings, always playing and cuddling, no harsh tones, no barking, don't want her to feel rejected or traumatized.
I never thought about the bed...it is going to be hard, she is not used to being in a crate, always in an ex pen.DH almost cry last night when I put her in the crate, he is not to fun of "cages"like he calls them.
