Thank you Chachi! I failed to add, the new addition has only been with us for 6 days. I know it will take time. I've never thought of resident dog as dominant as he is so very passive, the first to lay down for a belly rub, even to total strangers, greeting dogs on our walks with a wagging tail, so this behavior is unfamiliar to me. I don't want either dog to think they are dominant over the other, I'm in charge but I know they have to work out their pecking order, or so I've read. I don't want to step on the normal process of things but I do want acceptance of each other. |
