Make sure that your new puppy will be submissive to your three year old dog. Take them to neutural grounds (like a park or a common area) to meet for the first time. Put your puppy on its side or back, and have it submit to your older dog. Then walk the two together, your puppy behind your older dog. When you get home, your older dog gets to go in through the door before the puppy. Always be sure that your puppy is submissive to your older dog, and walk them everyday as a pack for them to bond. If your three year old dog is aggressive with other dogs or doesn't like to accept other humans and animals in the pack, then you should reconsider getting a puppy and consult a perfessional. *Slowly introduce them to each other. Never just put them in a room or yard together and leave them alone. The older dog may be territorial. Something that you may not be aware of until you try to introduce a new dog into it's territory. Slowly and patiently is what it will take.

They need time alone. The dog will think that he/she is being replaced and become very territorial but teach him to like the new puppy, or leave them alone for a while. After a while the dog will feel that he/she that brought in a new friend for it to play with and they will become used to each other. And don't forget to give them equal attention!

Introduce your dog to the new puppy slowly. Be sure to give both dogs a lot of attention, so your older dog will not feel neglected. Be sure to watch the dogs whenever they are together, to make sure that their level of play will not harm the puppy.

Well, you already made your first mistake. The old dog will NEVER accept your new dog because the old dog was there on your property first so he CLAIMS it first. If another dog comes along, the old dog will think that he's intruding or invading his territory. So the answer would be: You can't get your old dog to accept another dog. You have to adopt at the exact same time.

Well......they will bark at each other but if you get someone else to hold one one of them and you hold the other take them in to the room block the doors and just watch them if something goes bad take the dogs away from each other and let them play with themselves when they calm down surely they will start being friends

Most older dogs are tired and worn out and sleep a great deal. If it's a female it is more than likely of a mothering nature or at least will put up with the puppies antics. Put your old dog on a leash first, then let the puppy explore the same room you are in and hold the leash tight on your older dog just in case. Praise the older dog and tell them what a great dog they are. Remember the PECKING ORDER! Your older dog comes first and you must be sure that the first attention when you come into the house is for your older dog, then the puppy. The older dog should be fed first. If one gets a treat it should be the older dog, then the pup. Love and cuddle the older dog and then the pup. Pet the puppy then rub the scent on the older dog. If you have a breed of older dog such as a Pitt Bull, Bull Mastiff or other types of dogs that have habits you may not be able to trust separate the puppy from the older dog. I had a Cairn Terrier that was 10 years old and brought in a puppy because she missed our other dog (who was almost 20 years old and we had to put her to sleep.) The female Cairn Daisy was so distressed we bought a puppy. Daisy was wonderful with the pup and mothered it. Be sure because your dog is much older that you don't let the pup antagonize the older dog too much. Things will work out, but keep a keen eye out re the pup as the puppy doesn't know it's boundaries yet.

Golden Retrievers are usually very good natured dogs, even as they get old. Any puppy can be trained to get use to another family dog. Letting them get to know each other slowly is the best way to introduce a new puppy to the older dog.

9 year old pug if you bring a puppy at home will that make him sad?

Yes, it will make it sad. No matter how old the dog is, it will still make it sad. The worst ending will be, these two dogs will put on to a fight, maybe one, or even two of them will die. Suggestion, not to buy one more dog if there are another one.A different answer:The pug might be upset for a short while, but it is very unlikely that an adult dog would attack or hurt a puppy. In most cases, an older dog will quickly identify the new puppy as exactly what it is: a new member of the pack and part of the family to be protected and cared for. It is a natural aspect of a dog's nature to recognize young puppies as babies needing protection and training.You can help in the transition by introducing the puppy to the older dog outside the house, that is, before the puppy comes into the older dog's territory. Then let the older dog see you (the Alpha of the pack) bring the new pup into the house. You could give the new puppy its own bowl, blanket, bed and toys, and make it clear that the older dog's things are off limits. However, it's very likely that the older dog will quickly welcome the newcomer to its blanket, toys, etc.

Your 1 year pomapoo is ignoring you somewhat latly bescause of your attenion shared with a new 10 week old puppy How can you make the pomapoo care about you again?

Your pomapoo still loves you, he/she is just jealous, and possibly confused, not knowing what to expect with the new puppy there. You need to give the older one reassurance and positive reinforcement; this will train the older dog to associate the new one with good things, such as attention from you, treats, etc. Anytime you are holding or playing with the new puppy, be sure to pet the pomapoo and speak to him/her in a soothing and loving tone, and pet it at the same time. And be sure to also give the pomapoo plenty of one on one time with you also. You could buy a couple of new toys that you know the older dog will love, and give one to him/her while you are playing with the new dog. This will help reinforce in the older dog that having another dog in the house just may be a pretty good thing - more petting, treats, toy, etc. Then before long, they will likely be the best of friends. Just be sure to never give the older dog any kind of stern reprimand about anything in front of the new puppy until the older one has accepted the new one as a member of the 'pack'.


Is it bad to get a baby yorkie when you have an old yorkie?

It depends on how your older dog behaves. If he/she is well-behaved, not spoiled, and likes other dogs, chances are that your older dog will teach your new puppy some good behaviour. Beware: this also means that your new puppy will pick up on any bad behaviour that your older dog has. Do NOT get two dogs to keep each other company and to train each other because you will end up with 2 unruly dogs instead of just 1.
