I know this must be very stressful for you right now and probably just as stressful for your pups. I have not had this issue before, but have a friend who fosters dogs until they find new forever homes. She suggested a few tips - hope they help.
First, walking your dogs one at a time. This may not be convenient for you, but it will help you correct behaviors when you walk.
If you worry about how the dogs get along when you leave them, you can crate them in separate crates in either different sides of the room or in different rooms.
Remove all toys and chews if you leave them in an area together without supervision.
I always ask people with big dogs if their dogs are friendly before I let my pups near them or meet them. I usually warn them my pups are just learning their dog manners so they have a little heads up and have good control of their dog. Most people are pretty nice and understand that my pups are still learning. I appreciate it when people tell me their dogs are not friendly or not used to little dogs.
Good luck with your new pup. I hope this works out for you all. The pics are great - looks like a cutie pie. |
