as said by another the previous post , there is no one way that is right for everyone. like with my dogs for example , i brought oscar home at 11 weeks , i sat in the kitchen with him ( a gate seperating us from the other two dogs) and let them get to know each other for about 10 minutes then just put him down and they all get along perfectly to this day. of course that would not work for everyone. my advice would be to take your resident dog with you to pick up the new puppy and introduce them on nuetral ground. just supervise from then on |
