They are dependent on you to do the right things for all of them. Good Luck hon, I hope it works out. |
Well we introduced them very slow we just kind of walked in with the puppy and didn't make a big deal. I sat down with her and the two came over to smell the new puppy and that was it. As far as how I'm treat them I try to keep everything normal as possible. I shouldn't have said my daughter takes care of the puppy all the time because I do have all three dogs while she is at school. I just try to give Macy a break away from the puppy so she will act normal. Macy sleeps with me and that hasn't changed. It's just during the day she just sits and watches every move the puppy makes and I can't tell if she is going to dive on her and bite her or she's just watching her. Macy just acts to nervous for me. I have to protect this puppy by it being so small. I'm willing to do anything spend whatever time and energy to make this work. I live in a very small town and I don't know if we have trainers that come to your homes. I do know they have training classes at Petsmart don't know if anything like that would help. Thanks for the advice. If anyone has used Petsmart training classes how did that work out?
