Dont ever leave them alone together, until Bentley fully bonds with the puppy! I always kept the dog that was there first, number one in the chain! Always made that pup feel like they were still the most important one, most loved one, and that this new puppy was not going to be a threat in any way....still made special time with established pup, lots of lap time and loving and treats......I even thought if I would give the "old timer" a favorite treat whenever I brought the new resident into "our" presence/group, this new pup would suddenly become an unexpected source of treats, so maybe that new pup was not so bad after all!! It seemed to work for us around here! |
