| How do I get my boy to get along with his new baby sister? Hi everyone! This is my first post on YorkieTalk! My husband and I got our first baby boy, Yogi Bear back in May, and he has been a little angel. He is a bit spoiled and he loves to get all the attention, because that is what he is use to. We recently just got another yokie for him to be friends with, but the problem is, he is scared to death of her. She will come up to him and try to be friends, but he will always run away from her. When we are not in their sight, he will play tag with her, but when we are with both of them he will shake and try to hide behind me. How do I get my baby to get along with his new baby sister? |

| give it time, and don't push it. Only have them together when you are there to watch, and let them get used to each other on their own terms. It will work out!! Good luck, and congratulations on your new baby!! |

| Each time I brought a new one in, of course the puppy wanted to play, it took usually around 3 weeks for them to accept the pups...as the op said, give it time.. |

| Take it slow. Don't force your boy and girl to be together, such as for sleep and meals. Give them each their own space. Allow supervised play/get acquainted time. Remember, puppies are "rude" until they have been trained. Give your boy everything first, first to be fed, first for affection, first bully stick etc. Give him extra love and let him know that you still love him. They are a lot like skin kids, with the younger pestering the older one. Over time, they will sort out who will be alpha and will become friends. I have had Holly for 2 1/2 weeks. Gracie is accepting her. They play together. At times Holly becomes a real pest so Gracie will get up on a chair or someplace where Holly can't reach her to have a time out.

| Chewy liked our baby girl from the start but he was jealous so it took a litle time for him to share us with her!!! HE NEVER GOT MAD... But you could see him looking at us when we played with her. We have made it a point to SHOWER him with love and affection. he is doing great now and so is the pup.

| I got Rambo and my Sophie was already 3 yrs not. Not being happy about Rambo is an understatement she was seriously ticked off and would snap whenever he got too close.I was starting to second guess and think it was a mistake to get this beautiful boy. I didn't want two unhappy dogs. The wonderful people here on YT told me to give it time. Well it's been almoost a month and guess what. Today for the first time ever they were actually snuggling while sleeping together. Their still not the best of friends, but at least it looks like it's getting there just a little slowly. It will take some time but they should be OK. Good luck
