The other dog has been in the household for four years and was the underdog to an older collie who has recently died. We are having problems with the dogs. The original dog is fearful and snarly towards the young dog. The original dog hides and avoids the young dog. The young dog will not leave the other dog alone. Has anyone any advice please?

It reminded me to be patient. All our dogs are rescue and I still needed reminding to be patient and respect the pack.<br /> Thank you!

Our current dog - a cockapoo is 16 mo. old and does great at doggy day care with all the dogs there. This rescue - a Bichon - is 13 mo. old and both dogs are already neutered. Is this a good idea? I expect there to be some friction, so how shall we handle this? I was going to maybe let both dogs meet on neutral ground in town (I'd be walking our old one, hubby would be walking the new one) to see how they interact. What if they don't like each other? I expect they won't at first, but at home I thought about enclosing the new doggy in a large crate with a play enclosure attached so they could sniff at each other without getting hurt. New dog will have his own toys, bowls, beds, etc. New dog will most likely be scared as he is flying into our state from TX. Help! I am a little nervous. Any advice asap would be appreciated.

Our older dog is a bit snarly toward him. What can we do to balance the situation short of seperating the two of them. We are very mindful of sharing the affection and praise with both dogs, The older dog will not be with us for too much longer and we just want her to be comfortable and not feel threatened in anyway in her last bit of time with us.

I worked for a few years at an animal shelter and you would be surprised how many people want to just take a new dog home with out ever introducing them to their other dog first! Of course, we never let that happen and made a few people upset but they always understood in the end. I posted this to my blog too. Great article once again! Great advice!
