New Dog...advice?
« on: August 29, 2007, 12:51:56 pm »
I have had our one dog for like 7 years now named Puffy hes a good dog and all. 2 days ago we got a new dog named Daisy and I was just wondering if anyone had tips on who to get like dogs to like eachother not like love but you know what I mean...

Puffy just like runs away when she comes near him so I mean at least hes not being mean. But any tips on how to get them closer? Thanks.

Well the 1st the day i got my new dog, we introduced them to eachother on leashes, they both went  wild, and the new dog was making the craziest sound ever [which she does a lot now]. But yea, we kept them in the same place, but blocked them off from eachother, and soon they got to know eachother, and know there fine  :D

Your signature is beautiful, Heroesandtheives!
But to be honest, I think in this situation its best to stop being stingy and just get a trainer =)

Congrats on the new dog. :D

But I don't see why you should get a trainer to make the dogs like eachother :?
I think the best thing is just to leave them alone.

I had 2 cats for a couple of years, and then we got a dog. At first they were a bit scared, but after a while they even started playing with eachother. (A lot of fun to see a dog and 2 cats play together)
I bet it'll be the same for your two dogs.
It could take some time, be patient ;)

I agree with Si. A dog trainer would be a waste of money! They are dogs. They will eventually get used to each other =) I'd only get consultation if they have serrrrrious issues with each other, and they probably don't!

im sure theres something on google about it. look up pet training tips.

when i got my labrador puppy Lola a few years ago, we were scared to let her near to my sisters crazy dog that didnt like anyone and was always attacking people.. but we just held her and let them sniff eachother and they eventually got to know eachother and now theyre like in love its so funny haha.
