I was just reading over your comments again, my Reggie also hid under the bed almost the whole time I had the puppy. He would spend most of the day under the bed sulking, he was not afraid though he was the aggressor, but as my husband put it he was mad at us. He also started biting anyone that was near him if the puppy would get in his way. One time I was trying to give them both some scraps of meat and Reggie was so determined not to let the puppy have any that he bit my hand very hard and drew quite a bit of blood. I was furious and with him but more so felt emotionally hurt, like he had just slapped me in the face, I started crying pretty hard because I was so upset. That is around the time we decided we wanted our old Reggie back from under the bed and I started looking for a home for the puppy. In a matter of days life was back to normal and Reggie spent almost no time under the bed. I tried a second puppy again, but this time I had a female and she was not that playful from the get go, she was about a year and a half and I brought in a half sibling male. Murphy accepted him and the two of them got along well but she changed a little bit with me, she was just not as loving, both my husband and parents noticed it, it was like she was a little hurt that I now shared my affection with another pet. I felt bad, but Duffy the male thought I hung the moon and was very playful so I guess that made up for it, and Murphy was still sweet, just not as much. Just give Scooter lots and lots of alone time and perhaps her confidence will come back.
