| How to Intoduce a New Pup To a Year Old Yorkie Hello everyone. I'm so exited, got my second boy friday 25th. My older boy is always barking at the poor baby. First night he tried to bite him and was drooling until we put the pup on his crate ( Ithink is anxiety). The older one is anti-social or overprotective. He is driving my wife insane. Thr little pup is only trying to play with him. How can I get them to get along. Anny suggestions wil be appreciated.

| The best thing to do is to socialize immediatly and often, with supervision. Also make sure you reward the older one for being nice. Also, make sure you are paying extra special attention to the older one, as he will get jealous and feel left out. |

| Terriers have the terrier instinct to go after anything small. They were bred to keep rats away from graineries, so any small animal may appear as prey at first. Don't leave them alone until they are thoroughly socialized with each other. Panda is right, use supervison. When the older one even comes close to accepting the puppy, reward the behavior right away. Eventuallyhe'll catch on. |

| What I did was take Bandit each time I bought a new dog which was my late Yorkie Scoobydo, so I let them play for one hour to see how the fit it, if it wasnt a good match I wont take the dog. Same with Bijou they linched to each other immediately and sweetly no aggression even tho they are two males in tact. Sometimes you have to do it so. Then when i got home I kept bandit with the hubby outside and then introduced the new home to the new puppy where he got to explore the home and sniff at everything, it seemed to have worked |

| Well number one, It'll take some time. And probably your older one is jealous. So what I have done in the past is just make sure you treat both the same, and fuss over your older one as well. Little stinkers are so smart and watch everything. Patience is the key. |

| I also brought my new puppy girl a month ago. My 2 year yorkie boy wasn't agreesive to her, but very shy. He doesn't like any other dogs at all, and he never played with other dogs. In the first week, I would played with my boy more, he soon understood that the new girl did not take away his spot in his mommy's heart. Then I started play fetch (my boy's favorite's game) together with the new girl. After a many times, my boy understood that they could play together. I gave a treat each time he played with her, and I praised him like crazy. Although they are still not like buddies, sleeping or bundle together, I see progress everyday. They now run after each other a few times per day, I was so happy the first time I saw that; I literally had tears in my eyes. Give lots of treats when your baby plays with the new pup. They will catch on what you like and what you don't very soon. Keep praising crazily if they do something good. Give them some time, they wil eventually play and live together.

| Walk them together. It will help them understand that they are part of the same pack.

| How old is the oldest one? My shih tzu will put up with so much(she's almost 10), then she shows her teeth and growls to let them know to go on..she doesn't bite them though..I have to watch the 5 year old yorkie, she gets testy sometimes, but, when she does, I make the noise Cesar Milan makes and poke my fingers gently in to the side of her neck and give her "the look"...she gives me a dirty look back then lays down... |

| I got Holly when Gracie was 18 months. I say give them each their own space, and let the older one get acquainted in his or her own time. Supervised play sessions are great. Be sure to give your older one every thing first. First to be loved, first to be fed, first greeting when you come home, first treat, etc. And then give seconds and thirds. Remember, puppies are rude and your older one might not appreciate being jumped on, chased, and otherwise "bugged". It is just like skin siblings sometimes. Buy everything in twos. You can give each the identical same thing and the puppy will want what the older one has. Don't force them on each other or force them to share or sleep together.
