| Help new puppy Hello everyone. I have a little problem that I don’t know how to go about . I have two yorkies that are 16 weeks. Yesterday I purchase another one that is 11 weeks. My older two double teams the younger one anytime he tries to go into their cage or if he goes near any of their toys, and some of the toys they have never played with but now all of a sudden that their favorite toy. I separated them and put a gate up so that they can try to get use to each other. Now this is were the problem comes in since I have separated them my older two has barely touch any of their food and its like their house training has went out the window . They are peeing and pooping every were so I‘m having to keep them in their cage a lot more. It appears that they are down and out because of this. Could this be a way of marking their territory? Also with my new puppy I’m in the process of changing his food from Science Diet to Eukanuba I mix half and half with a little bit of Eukanuba can food. His poo is runny is this normal? Thanks to all for taking the time to read my post. V/r James |

| You have alot more guts than I have having 3 pups at once. I did 2 and potty training was hard. Did you change the food gradually, if not they can get an upset stomach. Give him some canned pumpkin and that will firm the stools. The potty training is just gonna take time with 3 pups

| You have your hands full... I myself have 4 yorkies I believe that you are right about older ones being territorial. I think you should let them get use to each other as much as possible(also mix their toys and blankies) About diarrhea, I had same problem with my youngest when I first got him. If diarrhea continues over couple of days you should take him to the vet, and he'll most likely give you something called flagyl liquid(smells like fish)to stop it. My breed used "eukanuba" and I changed to "Wellness super 5"(many people in YT use it) and my baby(1.5lb @ 6month) is very happy.

| I have one 16 week old puppy and have been considering getting her a playmate but am afraid of double the work! Wow, 3 pups sounds very tough! When I gradually switched Kaia over to Innova from Eukanuba, she had very soft stool also, it hardened up within a day or two. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have 3 that all came at different times and the 2 newest always pick on Cali who was here first. They go after her pretty bad some days and I have to step in but for the most part they work it out and then snuggle together. I would just keep putting the together supervised until they adjust.

| Congrats on your new babies! It might take a bit for the two older ones to get used to the baby. Its a good idea to keep them seperated. As for training, it is going to be a process for you, with three at once with time and patience you will succeed. if you can get them all on a feeding schedule at the same time, it will benefit you in the long run.
