How to Introduce a New Puppy to an Older Dog

Introducing a New Puppy to an Older Dog

Introducing a new puppy to an older dog requires careful planning and patience to ensure a smooth transition. Start by introducing them in a neutral territory to prevent territorial behavior. Allow them to sniff each other while keeping both dogs on a leash for safety. Monitor their body language for signs of stress or aggression. Gradually increase their time together under supervision. Provide separate spaces for each dog to retreat to when needed. Encourage positive interactions by rewarding good behavior with treats and praise. Allow them to establish their own hierarchy but intervene if there is any aggression. With time, they will likely form a bond and become friends.
