| Help Two days ago we got a new puppy for our other yorkie Joey. Joey wants nothing to do with her. He growls if she comes close to him and wont even look at her. He runs away as if he is scared of her? We use to have another Yorkie who passed away in August... I thought this would be good for him. Did anyone else have this problem? Does it get better? I don't want Joey to be sad. |

| Awww... Poor Joey and poor baby girl! Is her name Zoey???? I think it takes time for them to adjust to a new family member. But I am sure you will get tons of advise on how to best get them acclamated to each other. Wishing you the best of luck. I bet they will soon be inseparable!

| Yes it is normal. I have 4 and every time I have brought a new one home they would get jealous. It takes a while for them to adjust to each other. I would keep them separated unless you are there to monitor them. When I brought my Sassy home 5 months ago my other 3 hated her. I cried for a week thinking I had made a huge mistake, I was so afraid they might seriously hurt her.I came so close to taking her back to the breeder. She is the sister of my 2 boys but from a different litter. It took a while but now she is ruling the other dogs, even though my other female Tessie is suppose to be the Alpha Dog.Take it slow and don't give up and soon they will love each other. Congratulations on your new baby.

| Hello, Well 2 days has not been long enough for them to have gotten the chance to get along. From my experience when ever I bring a new dog into the house I keep it separate from the other ones for awhile to let the new dog get comfortable and the others used to the new sounds and smells from the new pet. I use a baby gate to separate them but they can see and smell each other. Once you give them time and space then I am sure you will have a better outcome. Just always supervise the time they are together and keep the visits short and sweet. They will get used to each other in time. Also, the new puppy has to learn what your other dog will tolerate and won't so there will be some growling.

| We have 4 furbabies and every time a new one came in, espically Dudley as small as he is, I would keep them seperated and take the puppy out several times a day and take them to the back of the house where they could play and interact with one at a time. It took about 3 weeks but it really helped. He will get use to her but it takes alittle time and effort. Don't be surprised if they are always jealous of each other. All 4 of mine try to get in your lap at once. Its funny though, the schnauzers stay together and the yorkies play together. Ever once in awhile Lexi will play with Kayla or Dudley. |

| Mina has been here about 6 weeks. The two poodle accepted her the first day, the chi has decided that he really likes her but that just happened last Thursday. The pom can finally sit close to Mina and not get upset,she is the other female in the house. Give it some time,they have to create a relationship with one another just like you are making a new relationship with the new baby. |

| Yes.... my parents had a standard poodle and a miniature poodle. The standard passed a couple years ago... They just got another standard puppy about 4 months ago, and at first the miniature wanted nothing to do with him. Now they are the best of friends. He follows her around and she doesn't mind now and she lets him know she rules the roost. LOL |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Give it a few weeks. Usually by then you will see some signs they are getting along better. Some take longer to adjust but nearly all go on to be best buddies.
