By the end of the week I'll be walking them together and slowly reintroducing them to each other. I'll post the link to the article later (it's on my browser at work), but it gives detailed directions for reintroducing them safely after confinement. I must say, I can't take more than a week of this... It's terrible having to crate one of them all the time. |
There's many methods to helping them to get along, I think consistency on your part will do wonders. Yes, pretty intensive work in the beginning, but when you can start trusting them again it will be so worth it.
