This worked like a charm!! Our little cockapoo is not the best with new dogs and has historically made many enemies in the neighborhood. With this advice, we PROPERLY introduced her to my sister's dog for the holidays and they peacefully coexisted throughout their stay! THANK YOU!
Wow! This worked perfectly. My older dog hates everyone, but using this method he accepted the new puppy with minimal problems. They were playing by the first night and best buds 3 days later...Amazing! Thank you
Best advice I’ve heard on introducing new dogs! I work with rescue dogs, and so many people just throw new dogs together without properly preparing. Thank you!
When I rescued a new dog to my pack of 6-7-8 dogs I had the new dog at the vet, then shuttled my other dogs in pairs to greet the new one on “neutral ground” for 10-15 minutes, then went home with my two dogs and drove another pair to greet the new dog. Of course, that took the whole morning. Then when I brought the new dog home to the pack the pack was already familiar with her and “we,” dogs and I had no problems. I know such a thing is not for everyone, but I knew my dogs and what I did was based upon observing their behavior with adding new dogs to the pack
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is super helpful. I feel like this would be a better slow intro then having my current dog go to the adoption event or shelter itself to meet the new dog as I am already aware that my current dog gets overwhelmed and fearful/reactive in new/crowded spaces like that.
I got my new puppy two days ago. They have already been playing and I make sure to have their own seperate beds. When Navi (Nahvi) gets into Tru’s bed (My baby beagle!) I make sure Navi knows that’s Tru tru’s bed. Or no that’s Tru Tru toys. And I’ll praise the new puppy for choosing a different toy or offering her 10 different ones until she picks one she likes. And praise Nahvi for choosing her bed. I’ll say good bed good bed. Glad to know I’m doing some things right. The puppy also sleeps in a kennel. That way Tru knows that her place in the bed is secure. Good information! Thankyou!
Glad you said about them meeting outside, I told my wife we should introduce our dog and new dog outside but she didn't want to listen to me (surprise). Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a Jack Russel Terrier that I think was from a puppy mill and wasn’t socialized at all. We got a new puppy and we were so worried they wouldn’t get along. Many sleepless nights. We followed your steps and they are inseparable. We got the best possible outcome. That I you so much for your advice!!!!
This video was awesome!!! We’re adopting a new dog this week and it’s been almost impossible to find really good information on how to introduce the dogs properly (our current dog has been an only child for 2 years). Thank you so much for posting this, I can’t wait to try out these steps!
Thank you. We just got a new rescue. Our old dog was great and playing with the new dog, even in the backyard. However, when we went inside, everything changed. Our dog that we already had started getting really snappy and growling at the new dog. I realize now that a lot of that is because of my stress and treating our old dog differently. I'm going to go take them for a walk. Great video with lots of good tips.
You are awesome. My husband and I have a Llapso Apso. Getting ready to babysit son's Jack Russel for 10 days! We watched you twice. Everything you say makes us rethink! Thank you, thank you. Will let you know how we do! Wish us luck 🙏!
Thanks for making this easy and fun. I'm always reticent to watch these types of videos because sometimes it feels overwhelming. I feel good about this.
Thank you so much, we recently lost one of our dogs (organ failure, the vet said) from old age, a small dog, and now we're thinking of adding another small dog to the family. The big dog has had issues with other dogs in the past (fights with big dogs, fights with other dogs introduced to our house poorly.) This will set them up for success, as you say.
Too bad I didn't see this earlier:my sister and I both got new dogs at the same time, and since both dogs are way-ok with just about any other dog, we weren't being careful about introductions. Now we have to back up and start over: little spats happened in the house. So I figure although it would have been ideal to have done it this way from the start, we can get back some lost ground by going on walks.... they completely ignore each other when we're on leashed walks together. You gotta start somewhere! Hard to do this in this weather!!
Same happened with us!! Our 2 dogs had ZERO issues with ANY dogs! And we've boarded dogs, had play dates, etc. We adopted a 3rd dog and they FREAKED. Our two bigger dogs now have had spats :( So we keep them separate for now while we work on this. I'm now nervous 😓 which doesn't help, obviously... I just want to do this right. Eekk! Love my babies so so much!
Super cool! Introducing baby blue heeler to our 9 mo existing heeler has been a trrrip! Practicing their obedience together has given us the best outcome thus far! This is great! Thank you!
This video was very helpful. We are considering rescuing a second dog and want to make sure we introduce him the correct way to our current dog. We have never had 2 dogs and we want to do it correctly. I will keep you posted on how it goes!!
Great points, we went wrong in getting our pup with a family members dog by just letting them play all the time, they became obsessed with just playing and wouldn’t focus on anything else. They unfortunately lost that dog a few months ago and have recently gotten a new pup, doing things properly this time and all is going well!
A white female German shepherd just turned up on my porch yesterday. We took her to the vet to see if she was microchipped. No microchip, just a very hurt and confused dog. We suspect she was dumped near our house a week or so ago. She’s so sweet and beautiful so we took her in that night. Today we got her fully vetted and bathed 😊❤ we don’t know if we’re keeping her or just fostering but, we already have three other dogs (who are dog aggressive) so I think introducing slow and outdoors is best! Thank you for the good advice. I’m not a dog behaviorist but do love them very much and just want to see my pack thrive!!
I don't understand why some people disliked this video. One of the greatest advice, especially being a "general video" . Thank You for taking time to make this a cool video
I definitely needed to watch this because my dog needs so much attention or she feels like we are leaving her. We got a new dog, and for the first time ever, she yelped for attention as my parents were giving the new dog attention.
This was SO incredibly helpful! We don't hae a new dog/puppy, but we often have dog visitors and my one dog is very protective and territorial. It took me forever to find a video like this, but yours was the best!
Just found this video. So many things I wouldn’t have thought of. We have an “only child” but want to try fostering another pup from a shelter. Not sure if it will work but your insight will give us the best shot I think. Thanks!
WOW this video is amazing. We are introducing a new foster dog with physical weaknesses (recovering from being hit by a car and pelvis/legs shattered) to our pack of 3: currently 2 old well socialized and easy pit and heeler mutts and 1 adolescent nervous, high strung/high drive dutch shepherd type mutt. I plan to utilize ALL of the advice and insight given here and will absolutely save this video to share with all my friends who are adding new dogs! Would you consider making a Spanish subtitled version of this video so I can share it with my local friends here in Ecuador? It would help our rescue work SO MUCH. Thank you!
@@iizy_ll unfortunately the dog I adopted got sick soon after we got him and we found out he had a cancerous tumor and there was nothing we could do. He was a great dog and we loved him for the two months we had him. I'm so happy that you chose to give a senior dog their forever home ♥️
Great. Worked. I made the mistake of not introducing them first and brought the dog into the home. It was a disaster. Of course. One of my dogs is fine. The other one NO, bad idea. Anyway, I took them for a walk. Oh my gosh, completely different dogs, different attitudes, not trying to eat each other anymore. Thank you thank you. I did introduced him out in the front yard which I thought was a neutral territory apparently not.
Great video! This is what we did when we got our second husky three years ago and it went off without a hitch. My housemate’s brother will be bringing his dog over while he’s moving so I wanted a refresher before introducing my two to his.
thanks a lot my dog is going to have a new friend and i hope they get along , my dog doesnt like other dogs so i hope my dog wont be aggressive at that time
youre so great at the general conversation, an excellent teacher is the definition of mastery, i truly enjoy your knowledge and charisma, thanks again!
Good advice. Thanks. Just needed to reload in my brains What I already knew but, bringing new untrained , unsociable 2 yr old into my house. Time and Patience wins Always. Just nervous. Been 15yrs since I've done this!
I love this video. Currently considering adopting a foster and this has confirmed many of the things that I have been doing but still got some helpful added important tips!!!!
Excited to use this! Have a brother moving in who has a dog. My 2 are rescues and get anxious with new dogs so I’m excited to try all this out to ease that tension
I’m so thankful for this video. I need to get my current dog to accept a new dog. This sounds like an awesome and reliable way to avoid disaster. I’m hopeful. Thanks a bunch!
@@rebecalukacs3551 I was not able to do it. The rescue dog I decided to adopt was so absolutely traumatized by us putting her in the car and driving an hour to our home that she would not even stand. It was awful. We had to physically pick her up and bring her in the house. We have since overcome most of that and now she loves walking on her leash and getting exercise. I’ve rescued a few dogs but this one has been the most stressful. She’s a dachshund pit bull mix and 3 years old. She was found abandoned in some woods in Georgia and was pregnant. I’m pretty sure she was abused. She’s so much better and I think with time and patience she will be more carefree. Cheers!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the taking it slow and safe method! I’ve rescued one dog and am considering a second rescue, I want to give my animals mutual respect and value. This video was great!
We just took one neighbour's dog out with another's. Scrambled to hide toys, chews and dishes when we got home. It went surprisingly well. One neighbour is thinking of getting a 2nd dog to keep their 1st dog company. Lots of socialising required! I think one little dog appreciated having a bigger dog to watch his back!
My breeder is worried my dog will get jealous of my puppy coming home in December. I really appreciate this video and I’m going to watch a bunch more. My current dog is a washed service dog (didnt make it through the training) so I’m getting a new puppy in December from a reputable breeder. My current dog is one and has never even as much as corrected another dog. She’s super friendly to everyone and every dog. Her only issue is her prey drive that we’re working on. So basically idk why I’m so worried about their meeting but I’m still going to go about it as cautiously as possible and I love your method.
Awesome vid as always! My 3 dogs met new pit mix puppy at adoption Center. I learned lots having an expert watch them interact that 1st time. When we got home I knew who was going to be resource guarding ME and not just toys/food. 1st week was slow interactions using kennels to separate and 1 dog at a time with puppy. 3 months later and all is well :)
We had a shelter dog for a couple years and introduced a puppy to her. They were best buds. She died about a month ago and we are looking at a shelter dog now. Going to introduce them in a few days with these tips!
Got a new dog and introduced him to my female dog. They get along great and Play which is nice cause they can set boundaries for each other. But its literally constant. They're always playing. It's exhausting.
You're so lucky tho! I have an Italian greyhound who constantly wants to play with me even at age 8. Got her a younger dog yesterday. The new dog follows me like a shadow and completely ignores my poor IG. No interest in her play instigation at all so now I have 2 dogs that want my attention 24/7 😭 maybe she will warm up.🤞
Thanks to you , so very much appreciated all the tricks . We got two yorkie . And the first one been with us for 9 years . And now we decided to get another 2 mos old . And omg its a desaster . But after we watch your channel then we realize that we all did wrong how to introduce the new yorkie to our old yorkie . We will do what you say ' wish us luck . Thank you to you so very much .
Thank you for the great and very well informed video! I have a 4 year old border collie who began life with us in this house growing up with an older sister, unfortunately the older sister actually bullied the younger one quite badly, to the point of bleeding. When we sought help from a professional trainer, as they were both puppies she suggested our best course of action was to find another home for the more independent of the two, which in this case was the older sister. Now, that’s the back story out of the way - our, now 4 year old border is extremely affectionate, clingy and doesn’t like being left alone; this is why I felt we should think about introducing another dog to her, as we all work in my house and she does have to go long periods of time in the house on her own; (she doesn’t seem ever want to play with any of my friends dogs as they are all older however, for the first time ever I saw her get really excited and playful with a Staffordshire bull terrier on a walk, once) What do you suggest I do? She tends to “act out” if she is left alone without me or my Mum at home by terrorising/chasing the cats or by scratching/gnawing on her legs and/or getting items out of my Mum’s room (stuffed toys etc.) and bringing them downstairs to chew. She is a really lovely girl but she does get jealous extremely easy but I want her to know it’s okay to play, I really think with her older sister bullying her all the time when she was younger she doesn’t understand that it’s okay to play and that she won’t always get hurt :(
Thank you so much! This is actually what I needed. Had a meet and greet that went south. Getting ready to have another tomorrow and new it had to be done different.
Was looking for a great concise but thorough video to send to my second person for our dog introduction and this is perfect! You explained this process better than I ever could have. Thanks for giving me a tool for intro success.
So, hypothetically if we didn’t do this the first time, and my dog has already reacted poorly leading me to find this video now.. do we just start from square one? They do walk fine together, but once we’re in the house, my yorkie mix is just so territorial of me and the house with my friends husky/lab. Would love any tips!!!
Thank you for this - was terrified as to how my dog was gonna act around our new one (she’s not very dog friendly) but we followed your advice and went back to walking side by side again every time they started fighting and things seem to be going well!!!!
Thank you for the video! My wife and I rescued a 1 year old Shepherd mix and will be introducing him to our 9 year old Pit/Boxer mix tomorrow (rescued 8 years ago). We will give your method a shot and hope for the best. Our Pit/Boxer is deeply loved by our family and we hope she will be open to the new arrival. Wish us luck!
Thank you so much for this helpful video. We have a female rescue dog that we've had for 3 years and she's used to getting all of our attention and being the queen of the household and we are bringing home another rescue dog (male) on Sunday. We will use all of your advice and do things properly and hope for a good outcome!! 😀
i have a pit bull puppy who is super sweet and she is super calm around other dogs. my grandparents also have have a mini schnauzer puppy and he is not socialized other then with my dog. they get tense around each other in our houses but while walking they are fine.
Very helpful video! My dog has always gotten along with other dogs at their homes, but we had a friend bring their dog over to our house for the first time, and it didn't go well... my idea was to go on a walk with them and walk into the house together next time, I hope it works! Sounds like a lot of people have had success with this method so fingers crossed!
Great advice as always. I tend to get a lift to pick up a new pup and take my other dog/s with me and I sit new pup on my lap so the older dogs/dog knows the pup is under my protection. I always have bitches and never had an issue doing it this way. I stress, this is with young pups only. With older dogs I would do as you suggest. So important to get this right. Best to relax and ignore the dogs mostly. When home I take all dogs and new pup desperate for a pee into the garden. Always under supervision . Great video Tom. So important to spread the love equally between the dogs . People do tend to feel sorry for rescue dogs and that won't help any dog. We need to make our dogs feel safe : ) You're doin g great work Tom : ) Thanks
We just took in a little girl mutt. It was my first time introducing a dog. I did some of it right. My boy, Scruffles doesn’t love our new girl, but it’s slowly getting better.
Thanks for the info! Shelters aren't doing dog meet and greets before adopting, now so if I were to adopt this male GSD that is available, I'd have to introduce him to my 2 overprotective female GSDs on my own. Now I know must be neutral ground, and side by side.
Hi. Thanks really appreciate you vids, I get something from every one of them , really helpful and good of you ,.....Thanks from the South Wales Vallie's, U. K.
Great advice thanks. My husband and I just adopted a new dog from the shelter so I'm really nervous and hesistant on how he will be esp with our current dog. Thanks for your help!
We have a 7 year old pitty that we are about to introduce to a 6 year old foster, my parent sent me this and it sounds great to try! Especially since our pitty can get jealous and resource guard new dogs often 😅
I wish I had seen this video last week! Have a 4 yr old Jack Russell and adopted a 1 yr old lab/husky mix. Did everything wrong! How do we recover? Have each dog separated in house but hard to spend time with hubby in same room when each dog needs one person. Lab has so much energy and Jack is trying to be in charge.
I know this is an older video, but my gosh! So very helpful! A few days ago we brought a little boy , a Staffy, home who was being violently attacked by a larger dog in his house. My dog, a bixer/staffy mix, has been an only child. He's not the attacking type, but when he gives a warning growl to the new dog, the new dog is fearful of him for the rest of the day. Simply hearing that I shouldn't overcompensate with the new dog because of his past experience is going to help us a lot going forward. Thank you so very much!

We just took one neighbour's dog out with another's. Scrambled to hide toys, chews and dishes when we got home. It went surprisingly well. One neighbour is thinking of getting a 2nd dog to keep their 1st dog company. Lots of socialising required! I think one little dog appreciated having a bigger dog to watch his back!
My breeder is worried my dog will get jealous of my puppy coming home in December. I really appreciate this video and I’m going to watch a bunch more. My current dog is a washed service dog (didnt make it through the training) so I’m getting a new puppy in December from a reputable breeder. My current dog is one and has never even as much as corrected another dog. She’s super friendly to everyone and every dog. Her only issue is her prey drive that we’re working on. So basically idk why I’m so worried about their meeting but I’m still going to go about it as cautiously as possible and I love your method.
Awesome vid as always! My 3 dogs met new pit mix puppy at adoption Center. I learned lots having an expert watch them interact that 1st time. When we got home I knew who was going to be resource guarding ME and not just toys/food. 1st week was slow interactions using kennels to separate and 1 dog at a time with puppy. 3 months later and all is well :)
Michelle Anderson thanks so much Michelle! I do appreciate your feedback!
Very helpful information on interducing dogs that'll be living together.
We had a shelter dog for a couple years and introduced a puppy to her. They were best buds. She died about a month ago and we are looking at a shelter dog now. Going to introduce them in a few days with these tips!
So nervous but want to bring a new dog to my family. Thanks for the video!
Got a new dog and introduced him to my female dog. They get along great and Play which is nice cause they can set boundaries for each other. But its literally constant. They're always playing. It's exhausting.
You're so lucky tho! I have an Italian greyhound who constantly wants to play with me even at age 8. Got her a younger dog yesterday. The new dog follows me like a shadow and completely ignores my poor IG. No interest in her play instigation at all so now I have 2 dogs that want my attention 24/7 😭 maybe she will warm up.🤞
First time watching. Getting a3 year old German Shepard ina few weeks and currently have a 14 year old Puggle
Dude I like what you teaching. Spot on.
Thanks to you , so very much appreciated all the tricks . We got two yorkie . And the first one been with us for 9 years . And now we decided to get another 2 mos old . And omg its a desaster . But after we watch your channel then we realize that we all did wrong how to introduce the new yorkie to our old yorkie . We will do what you say ' wish us luck . Thank you to you so very much .
Thank you for the great and very well informed video! I have a 4 year old border collie who began life with us in this house growing up with an older sister, unfortunately the older sister actually bullied the younger one quite badly, to the point of bleeding. When we sought help from a professional trainer, as they were both puppies she suggested our best course of action was to find another home for the more independent of the two, which in this case was the older sister. Now, that’s the back story out of the way - our, now 4 year old border is extremely affectionate, clingy and doesn’t like being left alone; this is why I felt we should think about introducing another dog to her, as we all work in my house and she does have to go long periods of time in the house on her own; (she doesn’t seem ever want to play with any of my friends dogs as they are all older however, for the first time ever I saw her get really excited and playful with a Staffordshire bull terrier on a walk, once) What do you suggest I do? She tends to “act out” if she is left alone without me or my Mum at home by terrorising/chasing the cats or by scratching/gnawing on her legs and/or getting items out of my Mum’s room (stuffed toys etc.) and bringing them downstairs to chew. She is a really lovely girl but she does get jealous extremely easy but I want her to know it’s okay to play, I really think with her older sister bullying her all the time when she was younger she doesn’t understand that it’s okay to play and that she won’t always get hurt :(
Thank you so much! This is actually what I needed. Had a meet and greet that went south. Getting ready to have another tomorrow and new it had to be done different.
We’re picking up a girl on Saturday. Hopefully the girl we have now will accept her. This will definitely help. Thank you!!
How did it go?
Was looking for a great concise but thorough video to send to my second person for our dog introduction and this is perfect! You explained this process better than I ever could have. Thanks for giving me a tool for intro success.
Very informative in a concise manner,
Keeping a friends dog until octobre starting today thanks for the info will introduce the dogs like you explained
So, hypothetically if we didn’t do this the first time, and my dog has already reacted poorly leading me to find this video now.. do we just start from square one? They do walk fine together, but once we’re in the house, my yorkie mix is just so territorial of me and the house with my friends husky/lab. Would love any tips!!!
I'm in the same boat, I've adopted a dog and all my other two is bark.
Same here!! Need help!
Don’t get Yorkies.
garry corrothers Bit late for that...
Yes, please help!
Thank you for this - was terrified as to how my dog was gonna act around our new one (she’s not very dog friendly) but we followed your advice and went back to walking side by side again every time they started fighting and things seem to be going well!!!!
Excellent advise . Thank you.
Thank you so much for all the information
Thank you for the video! My wife and I rescued a 1 year old Shepherd mix and will be introducing him to our 9 year old Pit/Boxer mix tomorrow (rescued 8 years ago). We will give your method a shot and hope for the best. Our Pit/Boxer is deeply loved by our family and we hope she will be open to the new arrival. Wish us luck!
How did it go?! I have a 8 yo Pitt and want to rescue a pup but super nervous!
Thanks for the awesome video. very informative
Your amazing. You have help me so much with my dog. Thankyou for sharing and creating these videos . Empowering
So very helpful! Thank you!
Great tips. Next week we adopt a second dog (an older cairn) and hope that our dog will accept him
Did he ?
How’d it go?
Thank you so much for this helpful video. We have a female rescue dog that we've had for 3 years and she's used to getting all of our attention and being the queen of the household and we are bringing home another rescue dog (male) on Sunday. We will use all of your advice and do things properly and hope for a good outcome!! 😀
How did it go? We’re planning on adopting a new dog and our dog has been on his own for 2 years. So I’m a little nervous.
I'd love to know as well what worked (or didn't work) for you! We're in the same situation.
I just got a new puppy and would love to know the outcome. I am nervous about my two getting along.
This helped a lot! I’ll let you know how the dogs getting better acquainted goes!
Chasity Owens how are things now? With the dogs?
Yah
So how r things
Well she dead
i have a pit bull puppy who is super sweet and she is super calm around other dogs. my grandparents also have have a mini schnauzer puppy and he is not socialized other then with my dog. they get tense around each other in our houses but while walking they are fine.
Thank you for the tips! I think they will help me very much. 🙂🐾
Omg, I'm sooo greatful for this video. I've written down the steps. 🤞 For our new puppy meeting my 2 yr old tomorrow 😬
Very helpful video! My dog has always gotten along with other dogs at their homes, but we had a friend bring their dog over to our house for the first time, and it didn't go well... my idea was to go on a walk with them and walk into the house together next time, I hope it works! Sounds like a lot of people have had success with this method so fingers crossed!
Great advice as always. I tend to get a lift to pick up a new pup and take my other dog/s with me and I sit new pup on my lap so the older dogs/dog knows the pup is under my protection. I always have bitches and never had an issue doing it this way. I stress, this is with young pups only. With older dogs I would do as you suggest. So important to get this right. Best to relax and ignore the dogs mostly. When home I take all dogs and new pup desperate for a pee into the garden. Always under supervision . Great video Tom. So important to spread the love equally between the dogs . People do tend to feel sorry for rescue dogs and that won't help any dog. We need to make our dogs feel safe : ) You're doin g great work Tom : ) Thanks
I’m so glad this help we are bringing in a new dog and we have dogs so this helped a lot!!
is ur dog jealous and mean how is ur dog now with the new puppy
Huge help!!! Thank u so much!
Thank you for the tips! I was going to be extra nice to the new dog but I guess I will hold that off!
Thanks Thomas. I was really stressing about introducing a new dog to my Shih Tzu (he's very dominant). This relieved my worries a bit.
@clam digger same there
@clam digger how did it go
clam digger what does reprimand and yield mean i’m so sorry i’m not the smartest could you say that but in simpler words sorry haha
We just took in a little girl mutt. It was my first time introducing a dog. I did some of it right. My boy, Scruffles doesn’t love our new girl, but it’s slowly getting better.
Thank you so much! So helpful!
Thanks for the info! Shelters aren't doing dog meet and greets before adopting, now so if I were to adopt this male GSD that is available, I'd have to introduce him to my 2 overprotective female GSDs on my own. Now I know must be neutral ground, and side by side.
Hi. Thanks really appreciate you vids, I get something from every one of them , really helpful and good of you ,.....Thanks from the South Wales Vallie's, U. K.
Thanks so much Allan! Much love!!
Great advice thanks. My husband and I just adopted a new dog from the shelter so I'm really nervous and hesistant on how he will be esp with our current dog.
Thanks for your help!
We have a 7 year old pitty that we are about to introduce to a 6 year old foster, my parent sent me this and it sounds great to try! Especially since our pitty can get jealous and resource guard new dogs often 😅
Love this!! Thanks so much for your professional help and direction.🤗.God bless!
I wish I had seen this video last week! Have a 4 yr old Jack Russell and adopted a 1 yr old lab/husky mix. Did everything wrong! How do we recover? Have each dog separated in house but hard to spend time with hubby in same room when each dog needs one person. Lab has so much energy and Jack is trying to be in charge.
Same problem Jack Russel mix and Labradoodle
I know this is an older video, but my gosh! So very helpful! A few days ago we brought a little boy , a Staffy, home who was being violently attacked by a larger dog in his house. My dog, a bixer/staffy mix, has been an only child. He's not the attacking type, but when he gives a warning growl to the new dog, the new dog is fearful of him for the rest of the day. Simply hearing that I shouldn't overcompensate with the new dog because of his past experience is going to help us a lot going forward. Thank you so very much!
About to go pick up our new foster right now! We know our dog Elf is an angel but we didn't know any of this! Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
Great info thank you!
