My Missy is just over a year old and I just got a new puppy too. Dora can be a bit too rough with Missy for my liking but I try to let them sort it out. After Dora has been hanging off of Missy's beard for a few mins straight, then I will step in. I will also encourage Missy to stick up for herself, and it works. She then gets up the courage to put Dora in her place. Missy is just too darn nice, and let's Dora get away with alot. In time, I'm sure they will work it out. I agree with what someone else said. Have them be around each other all the time (except when you can't supervise), they have to establish their pecking order. I'm sure things will work out. Puppies just need to learn their role, and it's up to you and your older yorkie to teach the pup. Good Luck! |
