Teddy will come around, he's terrorized because puppies don't smell like a dog. They are bouncing balls with sharp teeth to Teddy. It could take up to 2 months before Teddy will play with the baby. Make sure Teddy has a safe place where puppy can't get him. My now passed girls would stay on high grounds (the sofa) when I would bring home a new baby. They will become BFF.
Make sure Teddy is the first for every thing, the first to be greeted when you come home, the first to get a treat, the first to get his food bowl, etc.
Never leave the two together unsupervised.
Teddy will be just fine, he will come around in his own time. |
Thank you. Teddy has seperation anxiety and a fear/avoidant personality.
I'm trying to do very gentle exposure therapy with him. I did not, for one minute, think there would be an issue because he is the most friendly, confident dog when we're out meeting/greeting other dogs. But, with this puppy, he won't give it eye contact, won't engage and barks with whale eye at the side of his head from a distance.
It's not even been 24 hours and I know it's a process.....
