WHAT DO WE DO??? will she stop all this and now that she has bitten will she bite more??? PLEASE HELP |

| Is she scared of the new husky? Or maybe she feel threatened by him? Has she ever had any bad experiences with bigger dogs? That may have traumatized her.... Hopefully she will be able to accept him eventually, it may take some time... |

| Wow...I've never heard of a dog having a reaction like that. We've introduced lots of new dogs to our house over the years and have never had one get aggressive with the new one or us. It sounds like maybe she's afraid. Has she been around other puppies or big dogs before? |

| I would try re-introducing them to each other outside. Addy is trying to protect her house and she is also scared so she is fear biting. I have never had a problem with the rescues if I put the new dog in an xpen outside and then let the gang come out and smell the new dog. Within minutes everyone is racing around the yard and I let the new one out and closely watch for any signs. After about 20 minutes of play then I let everyone in the house and it has been interesting to watch the dogs go into their pecking order and the older dogs telling the new one what they will or will not accept. Good Luck.
