Remember, your goal is a happy, blended family. I would not treat them all equally. Chuchi was there first and therefore, the KING. You should treat him as such, at least in their eyes.
He needs alone time with you and he needs time alone AWAY from the pups. He needs to know that he is still the KING in your house. Later, when he adjusts, things can be more equal. |
Thanks guys! I'm trying to keep a balance while still "spoiling" Chuchi. Chuchi is the only one who gets alone time, I still let him come out and play with me and keep me company while I work. He also goes for his daily walks while the pups are still too small. I think he knows he was here first and has special treatment, but at the same time I don't want to over spoil him.
At first if they would go in his bed I would take them out and put him in. Now I just leave it to nature. I still give him his food and water first but he also needs to mature, its already been 2 weeks. Do you guys think this is too little time? They finally sleep in the same room at nights with the crates open and no barking, all was good besides a ton of poop
but Chuchi got to go to our room first before his walk and was happy to still have his special spot.
