| Introduced a second puppy, now my first is not happy I have an 8 month old male yorkie for about a little more than 5 months, Yesterday me and my wife brought home another puppy this time female. The first night was a little rough my older male was not happy, he would follow her around and sniff her which is fine but when the younger one would turn around and bark at him it would set him off and i had to separated them. Today is a lot better they are playing and running around together and i haven't had to separate them once today which is great. My problem is the younger girl is obviously not pad trained yet and my older male is he hasn't had an accident in over 2 months, now when ever she has an accident we clean it up and then my older male sniffs out the spot and decides to pee/mark his territory where ever she has gone, how can i stop this? I cannot have my old male who knows better following her around marking his territory. We are crate training her but she still has accidents. Another issue with my older male is ever since we brought her home he will not accept treats when he does potty where he is supposed to, I think this just has to do with him being focused on her. Sorry for the long read just trying to get everything out there. Thanks for any advice anyone can give me, Ryan |

| Wow, not sure what advise I can give you - first welcome here and congrats on your new baby. We brought a new "sister" in for Jack - but Jack (though he will potty on the pee pad) would rather do his business outside and he only "marked" once when we first brought her home. Make sure you keep putting your female on the pads and keep a vigilant eye on her. Do you have any of the products made specifically for removing dog urine odor and stains? If you do and its not working, I have no other suggestions for you. As far as them getting along, it will take your male some adjusting, but he should come around. Our little guy did - though sometimes his little "sister" can be a bother. Good luck - hopefully someone else with more experience or better suggestions will see this and have some other advise for you.

| Don't worry. Be patient and things will work out. We had some jealousy issues when we brought home our second. Some of the issues were worked out in a couple of days, others were worked out within a couple weeks. Only one issue -- sleeping together on the bed -- took a few months. Continue to supervise when they are together. Intervene and separate only when it looks dangerous. Otherwise, let them get to know each other and establish things between each other. My boys played rough when they first met. I have never had 2 dogs before, so I was taken by surprise. Being Yorkies, they would start running 100 mph around the house and practically swing from the chandeliers, barking at each other. Put your boy first for everything: greet him first, put his food bowl down first, and so on. Give him some alone time. If he doesn't want his potty treats, don't worry about them. Continue to give him praise when he goes in the right place. When you catch him marking, give him a firm "no." Clean all accident spots thoroughly with an enzyme cleaner to remove the scent. Is your boy neutered? If not, that may be a big part of the problem and driving his desire to mark. Good luck and congrats on the new addition to your family.

| Haha, yes! My younger boy Teddy annoyed Max with his puppy antics.

| Thanks for the help guys, from what i watched today my boy really wants to play with her and at times she would play back, she even chased him around barking and growling t him today and he was fine, he just wanted to play which makes me very happy. My boy is still marking and every time i clean it up with natures miracle stain and odor remover. My boy is also not neutered yet but i do have an appointment saturday to go over the details. As far as my female she only gets play time when me or my wife can watch her and we are very adamant about pd training her. As i am typing this i feel so much better about the situation, i have the little female asleep in my arm and my male asleep right next to me on the couch. Thank you all for your help i will update you about the situation and any other help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan |
