Yes, we are passionate about unaltered males (and unspayed females) advise on that is helpful but, no one has offered ideas, suggestions, advise on her original thread.
Can we do that please, can we help her with her older baby accepting the new kid.
Give YOUR experience and how you handled introducing a new baby with your older one.
There are multi members with multi yorkies on this board, lets pitch in and offer some suggestions to a new mom that is now owner of 2 yorkies. |
I get what you’re saying but I feel like it is an important part about having and bringing two together. The more experiences heard might be helpful honestly into giving the OP something to think about. I have never had two unaltered dogs at the same time so unfortunately I don’t know how helpful my advice even is. Not all mine enjoyed their younger siblings at first while others did. I never followed any special rules when bringing a new puppy in and never had big issues. Callie was still crated when Joey came and it gave her time to get used to him at a distance, Joey was thrilled when Penny came because Callie was just to old to play, Joey was not thrilled with Ollie but Ollie would follow him around and Joey came around, Penny was the only one really thrilled with Dixie. Dixie was to small to get on the furniture for a long time so the adults would get on the furniture when she was to much but Dixie was my only puppy who HAD to have time outs because she got very grumpy and nippy when she was tired and hungry. I still now try to give everyone their own time even if it’s 15 minutes a day to just a few minutes when getting them dressed in the morning and at night. My biggest issues of not getting along have to do with females and not due to hormones. They have little tifs now and then. I generally let them handle it themselves, if Dixie gets rowdy Penny pens her down until she chills and then let’s her up. I found the worst thing I did was get involved when the others were trying to teach Dixie how to be a dog and how hard to bite, how to play and what was not ok. But hormones really can change things.
