I don't think you gave the new dog enough time. When I introduce a new dog into the house, it usually takes a few weeks for them to get along and accept each other. One day is not enough time for them to settle down and get use to the idea of another dog.
Keep this in mind next time.
Meeting on neutral ground is a good idea. Another idea is to get a blanket or towel, rub it on your dog and have a seperate towel/blanket and do the same with the soon to be new dog. Then switch the towels and leave the towel where your dog sleeps or eats. This will get them familar with the new scent and they will be more accepting of each other when they do meet. |
