These posts have been very helpful and I think I can see where I have fallen short on having Maddie accept the new puppy. I was giving him almost all my attention except at night when she is allowed to sleep with us and he has to be crated. I was at least feeding her first and giving her treats.

I think that I may have a power struggle going on here though, even though the puppy only weighs 2 lbs and Maddie weighs 6 lbs. He will turn his butt towards her and bark and growl at her and if she doesn't growl back, he will turn around and bark at her LOL.

I'll have to plan a special trip to Petsmart and the park with just her. She'll love that. Maybe I can also get hubby to take puppy to the den with him so I can spend more time alone with Maddie.

Thanks for the help!
