Most Yorkies, even if they were not treated well, tend to have a difficult time letting go of past relationships. If she is not comfortable with her surroundings yet then she certainly is not ready to accept the dominant dog of the house. A lot of love and patience of course. Do not allow either of them to be aggressive. Just separate them if they show signs of fighting. They have to know you are not tolerating bad behavior from either of them. |
My present dog, Penny, turned 1yr old 4 days ago.
New dog, Pixie, turns 1yr old tomorrow.
We have had new dog for a week. I agree, I don't feel comfortable leaving them alone yet. I have seen the aggressive behaviors from new dog for a couple of days now. But today was the first day that new dog made my existing dog yelp in pain.
