They never seriously hurt each other but it was very rough and scary. The vet just kept saying they will sort it out amongst themselves and get used to each other. The vet also said that as long as they are not injuring one another (blood, crying in pain) to not restrain them, because that makes them more aggressive. |
I agree, too many people yell at the older dog, when actually they are just trying to teach the puppy to behave. She's doing the same thing the mama would be doing. Puppies can be quite obnoxious believe it or not, and their little teeth are razor sharp, so let you adult be the alpha, she’ll help you train the puppy.
