| Introducing a new (second) baby We are contemplating the addition of another fur baby to our household and I'm looking for some advice. Teddy is 3 1/2 and isn't used to being around other dogs (until lately). He is territorial when we go for walks in the neighborhood and barks aggressively at the other dogs but if the dogs come close he backs down. We went to visit the breeder and puppies twice. The first time he was very quiet. He allowed the adult dogs (his mother, grandmother and sister) to sniff him and he sniffed back. When I was holding the puppy he hopped up onto my lap saw the puppy and got back down. Then he jumped back up and gently sniffed the puppy. On the second visit he wasn't interested in socializing with any of the dogs or puppies ... he just stood around and whenever I sat down he hopped up onto my lap. We would love to have a second dog but I'm not so sure Teddy is in love with the idea. What are your thoughts, suggestions, advice on how to successfully introduce a new puppy into the household? |

| you know what I took Teegy to the breeder with me, he is always around other dogs and well socialized so to be honest the puppy came in chewed on him a lot and they were fast friends by the end of the week. Teegy is a very gentle soul and just loves all dogs and people so there wasn't really a cause for concern, even my breeder wasn't worried. |
