I say this from just a little experience I have had in much the same way but both were my own dog. I don't know how possible it is for the two of them to see a lot of each other but I think this is the best and only way for them to become friends. This is just my opinion of course as I am hardly an expert. Best of luck with getting the two of them acquainted and becoming friends. |
This was also my personal experience when I had my 3 pack all 3 years apart, older dogs are afraid of puppies, 1-they smell different. 2-puppies are hyper, pounce and nip the older dogs, I had to laugh when reading this, remembering the times I would bring a new baby home, the reactions I had from my first 3 y/o meeting her new sister, then bringing the 3rd home 3 years later and the reaction from the two older ones lol. but they lived together and the older ones had no choice but to accept the new ones. I suggest bringing Lola over to your aunts as much as possible so Lola can get use to her, as the puppy gets older it will get calmer, let Lola get to know this puppy.
