Hi,
Just looking for advice on how to get my new puppy and my adult dog to get along. It seems that my adult dog is afraid of the puppy, which Im sure is because the puppy is in her nipping and jumping stage. My adult dog never had any problems getting along with other dogs, so this came to a shock to me to see her retreating from the puppy. It's been a little over a month now, they seem to be getting a long a little better, but my older dog still jumps up on higher places to the puppy can't get to her. Is there something I can do to help the process along. I totally understand that my older dog has been the only one for 5 years and now there is a little one invading her house. She need some advice. They are both shih-tzus. My older one has always been calm and quiet, the puppy not so much...lol Oh and when they do bark and somewhat play, my adult dogs tail is always wagging, so I know she's not upset. They are both girls as well.
