Because our dog recently passed away, our family decided to get a new puppy to act as a companion for our remaining 14 year old, as she has been incredibly depressed since his death. However, this 14 year old, Lucy, was always the dominant pup in the house and is not taking kindly to the new playful puppy. She tolerates being in the same room as her, but growls to signify her discomfort. The moment the little pup attempts to play with her, Lucy bares her teeth and barks as warning. The puppy takes this as a signal to play. I know they will get along eventually, but does anyone have any tips for speeding along the process?
Old dog hates the new puppy! Help!?
Are you showing them the same amount of "love". older dogs, well any "first born" feels left out when another younger thing comes along. Make sure you treat them the exact same way, or show a little more (just a little) attention to the older dog. Good luck, I really hope I helped!
Reply:You should just get rid of one, there may only be enough love in your family for one dog.
Reply:ok this happened with me when i rescued a dog...have one person hold one dog and the other hold the other dog and let them sniff eachother and dont let them fight...also give them each the same amout of attention and keep them in different rooms til they learn to get along....put one in a room with a gate and everynow and then they will go to the gate and sniff eachother and they will eventually get along with me doing this the results i got was now my 2 dogs wanna have puppies and they get along great and they look after eachother. Happy Holidays Good luck
