Introducing a new puppy? There is a chance I might be getting a new puppy soon. My husband & I both work. My hubby potties Logan in the morning & then we come home at lunch for an hour & then are home at 4-4:30. When Logan was about a year & a half he earned free roam of the house. And has done excellent. The new puppy is older (5 months), but it's still too young to be left out. How do you make this work? I'm afraid if i put the new puppy in the playpen Logan will spring him. And if I put him in a cage they might hurt themselves trying to get together. We could try seperate rooms, but i'm afraid they'd carry on something aweful. Does anyone have any tips? Also would it hurt Logan's feeling if we took the new puppy to our remaining softball games. I would want the new puppy to go & get socialized, but Logan can't go because he gets too excited & barks pretty much the whole time. |
You mean...springing as in helping new puppy escape? :p I will say when I had Reggie in an x pen and the other two outside....they certainly encouraged him to climb out. They swear they had nothing to do with it though. If you don't want or aren't comfortable...babygating them in one room...I guess the only other option will be seperate rooms for awhile. Or placing puppy in the pen...and babygating Logan in another room. Mine are rarely left at home alone..but when I have to...they are contained to three rooms by a babygate. I do know...all of mine expect to go anywhere...one is going, but they are very forgiving when we return. |
We have babygates on the office door, out bedroom & the guest bedroom. So Logan only gets free run of the kitchen & living room. The cat has the office & guest bedroom. I guess we could put the puppy in a cage in our bedroom & that would probably be alright. Then it wouldn't change Logan's routine. |
I put Roxie in a crate and the others would lay by her. It worked out fine, but I am home most of the time. |
