New Puppys!! Hi everyone. Im looking for advice about mixin my two yorkie with two new puppys. Kooks and Macho are brothers and are a year old but have never been around small puppys before. There both a bit scared of them. The puppys are chihuahuas and there going to stay really small i'm scared that they might hurt them. Greatfull for any advice thanks Love Lucy |
In this case, fear of puppies is a good thing, because it will keep them for being aggressive. This is how I usually intoduce new dogs (and I do it a lot, since I always have foster dogs coming in and out of my house): We introduce them at a park, or somewhere where the older dogs do not feel like they own the property. I'll set up an ex-pen, where the new dog will be. I'll introduce the alpha dog of the older group through the ex-pen. If the they get along well, I'll take the new dog out of the ex-pen and let them sniff and get to know each other for a few minutes. Then, I'll put the new dog back in the ex-pen and keep the first older dog outside with me as I one-by-one introduce the older dogs. Usually everything goes well, so I'll let the new dog out of the ex-pen and let them all sniff and get to know each other. When I take them all back home, I keep a very close eye on them, and don't leave them all alone together. Make sure you give your older dogs A LOT of attention, and have some alone time away from the new puppies. |
