Its probably not as excited as you are about the new puppy, plus older dogs are calmer than a puppy and have less energy.
Don’t push it to play or share too much, let it go at its own pace, and the most important thing is that the puppy is welcomed and you all live in peace together.
Although we have spoken about “older dog” and “puppy” this really applies to every presentation between dogs, as the key is to show them in a natural way, and it doesn’t seem invasive.
Your puppy is sure to become good friends with its new family with patience, love and perseverance!
In the dog training world there is what is called, “The Rule of 3’s” –
3 Days, 3 Weeks, 3 Months
Go slow, take your time and within no time, your new pup will be a fully integrated member of your family! Woof Woo!
