Almost six months in since adding a new pup and al i can say is sit back and let them find a natural balance. The older dog was not as old as yours so he was still pretty playful and he hid from the puppy and jumped up on chairs and sofas and perched where the up could not reach. he would sit there and watch the pup tire herself out barking then he would sniff around her when she slept. The have found their own balance, he lets her know when he does not want to play and she goes about her business. But there is no fighting or bloodshed. LOL. |
