I just purchased my 2nd yorkie for the same reason. I wanted Baby to have companionship. I did alot of research before buying the puppy and honestly I was still unsure about the whole thing. I was told to pay more attention to the 1st dog. Treat her extra special and give her lots of attention and praise. If not she would resent the puppy, become jealous and agressive with it. I have to say things have gone pretty good. There have been times when Baby will discipline Juicy. She has even growled and bit down on the back of Juicy's neck. Juicy will just stop what she is doing ( She's usually jumping on Babys face nipping) and stay put til Baby lets her go. Baby is not puncturing her just mouthing. They seem to like one another. I find them kissing and sharing chewy sticks together.
Treat Bailey with more love and attention . It really does work. We are both going through transition periods. Bailey and Baby are having to adjust and we need to reassure them with lots of love and attention. Good Luck!!!! |
