Make sure the puppy never comes first. You need to make your female is confident that she is still first place in your heart and the home in general. If she has a more timid personality than the puppy please make sure the puppy does not push her out of activities like greeting you, food, treats, walks, etc. Once she is understands that the puppy is not a threat to her standing she may be more likely to accept it.
It is natural to want to take care of the puppy's needs first but if you want a happy well balanced doggy family look to the older one's needs first. |
