He needs time to adjust to the new kid, it is not going to happen over night. He will interact with the puppy in his time, which could take up to two months. Don't force the puppy on Teddy, don't force a friendship. All you describe in Teddys behavior is normal when a new baby enters an only furbutts life / home. You will see, they will be BFF. I forgot to ask in my first reply, is Teddy neutered.

Thank you so much! No, Teddy isn't neutered.
