What you told them to do was right on point... we added max to the family about a month ago and when we introduced him to our only child (a four year old bichon frise), she wasn't interested in him either, but these kind of things take time. The treat association is really affective. And please don't let them forget to give reassurance to Gizmo... every minute if they have to. You never want him to think he's being replaced because that could hurt his feelings and he could start showing aggressive behavior to the dog thats "stealing" his family.
