Yeah, I'm getting a new puppy and I plan to put him in a pen in the kitchen so there is no stress for my six yr old male. I will let the senior pup decide when he wants to be introduced. We lost our female three yrs ago and they were like two peas in a pod. The pup needs to get used to his surroundings so he will getn the kitchen run for now and then when they are ready I will open up the space. In the meantime they can have short spurts together to explore one another. I plan on still having my senior sleep with us, but the little guy will be crated for now (he is too small). I don't know how old your pup is but the key is just to allow them to each have their own space. Make sure you are giving your older one the attention he has been used to so they don't feel left out. |
