| HELP! My 2 year old Yorkie is aggressive with the new puppy! Hey everyone! I am new to YT and I need some advice! I have a 2 year old Yorkie who WAS the only dog in the house. He was around my parent's 2 yorkies until he was about 1. He is now in the house with 2 cats. They get along ok. We brought home a new puppy, about 12 weeks old, and Raja is mean to him. When we brought the puppy home, we made sure Raja was on the ground to sniff him. He was ok with him, until we picked up the puppy, Raja he completely changed and bit the puppy's ear. He has does this 3 times since then and made the puppy bleed. Raja is not neutered because we are breeding him one more time and will be neutered ASAP after that. I don't know what to do? We are debating on taking the puppy back to the breeder so my dog doesn't hurt him! The puppy isn't much smaller than Raja since he only weighs 3 pounds. He is ok with the puppy when he is in his cage, he could care less that he is here, but when he is out, Raja completely changes. He starts shaking and his lips start to chatter and he starts crying. It's almost like he is super excited to see the puppy then he changes and gets aggressive. I am lost for ideas and any ideas, info, suggestions would be awesome! Thank you! |

| wow this seems horrible for you. What I did when I brought Pixie home was I kept her in the ex-pen and only let daisy sniff from the outside the first few days. Then I started letting daisy sniff Pixie only when I was holding Pixie and I would talk to Daisy in a soft voice and say that is nice Daisy. I did not let them get to acquainted without the best supervision until Pixie had been with us for a month. If Daisy seemed to show any signs of aggression I would scold her and let her know that it was not acceptable and then I would pet her and love on her. Pixie has been with us for 2 months now and they are buddies. So my only advice is take it slow. I hope things get better bc I know it can be stressful!

| If you do a quick search here - you'll find that you are definitely not alone. I agree that there is no need to rush; some dogs are accepting of a puppy and some are not. Mine was not and we took it very slowly. Supervised visitation - out in the yard only; then in the living room (pretty neutral zone); then all over the house. This over the course of days. Lavish your first dog with lots of attention; make sure he is greeted first; fed first; walked first - EVERYTHING first for your older dog. This will help some of the jealousy issues. I know it's hard cause puppies are SO cute, but try not to pay TOO much attention to the puppy; give your older dog the most attention. If you can, walk them together; this will help them bond. |
