Well my dogs have settled down. I have watched the triggers. One food. I make sure i have food for both which i did before but now if boo the yorky starts getting persnickady i correct him . Princess has always stayed away if i eat. So i put boo in bathroom till im done if they start acting up. Then the being rough while playing princess has like a whine so does boo. So when i hear it get ratcheted up i tell them settle down or be nice. If they keep going i tap the instagator to distract them. Jeleousy hum boo has been spending more time with dad. Which freeked me out cause they both stayed with me. But i think boo pouts if i fuss at them for barking. But if they are both in here with me boo lays up at my neck with his head on my shoulder. Princess stays in the bend of my knees. If she hears me baby talk loving to boo she comes up and wants attention so i love on her. They have not fought for a week or more now. I got my boo for the same reason as you. Paps are not known to like other dogs. But she loves boo but ifhe fusses at her she will run up thump him back off and bark. Then do it again almost taunting him. Maybe get someone else in the house to take thepuppy while you love on your oldest. Then visa versa. I think when they know were not forcing the new one on them and love them a lot they calm down. Mine get fixed jan so we will see how that goes. My pups are fine alone but they so far only make racket at each other. But if your nervous put the puppy up. Try not to change your older dogs routeen. NOW IM NO PRO just telling you what im doing. I couldnt get rid of either dog. Just cant think of them wondering why their mommy gave them up and where did his or her family go. Just like our human kids we work with their bad habits untill they change. I gave one of my does away once was gone for two years. When i went back and seen the people i gave her to. She was outside in black dirt. We got out of the car and she seen us and howeled and barked like she was crying. She remembered us we took her back with us. But when i think of what they did to her. Well lets say never again will i do that to another dog. |
