It takes time and they need to be allowed to play and eat with one another as if they are equals under you. Making sure that you establish the pack leader roll is very important. they need to understand that what you say goes no if and or buts about it. Plus that bark may be just an invitation to play. I'm sure that he's excited and curious about this new furry family member. They need to be able to sniff here and there and you know how dogs are and that mean everywhere !! I shouldn't take much time at all before they are playing and enjoying each others company. I would also make sure that you don't allow either of them to get too rough or bite, fight over toys or show aggression in any way. Those types of behavior normally create bigger issues that are harder to manage.
