Default Need assistance with dominance issues of new puppy and older doggie!!

Hi everyone!

I am new here to Yorkie Talk...for those that didn't see my introduction post I will fill you in.

So my parents have a 13 year old male yorkie named Oliver.

I had moved out, and I am back home for a little as my boyfriend is traveling right now. Our female yorkie, named Treble, just came home to me last night. (We were waiting a month!)

Well I didn't know I would be coming to my parents so soon, and I am having dominance issues.

Anyone have some tips and recommendations? The female came home late last night (11:30pm) and we waited till this morning to introduce them.

Oliver is a sick dog...he is on medication. I didn't want to do this to him, but with wrong timing, it happened this way. The female snapped at him, and she wouldn't stop, so that got Oliver excited. He came in my room, and initially started sniffing around. Then he began sniffing her until she started snapping. I have Oliver outside of the room, but because he knows she is in there now, he will not leave the door and is whining.

I don't know what to do or how else to do this. And I don't want to upset Oliver further, because I know he is sick.

I have never had a new puppy come home to and older dog. I know it's going to take time, but if anyone has advice it's greatly appreciated!!

Thank you<3
