Your house is filled with the noise of pets, and suddenly you want a small puppy? Well, you need to be patient, so that the meeting of a new pet will bring joy and pleasure to all residents. All animals get used to their owners and sharing their time with someone else can be an extreme challenge. In order to establish harmony and love between new animals, you need to think in advance about how their introduction will take place. And we are happy to help you by putting together some tips for successful socialization.
Even at the stage of acquiring a new pet you should think about the compatibility of animals. In general, all animals can coexist peacefully if they are properly introduced. However, there are aggressive dogs that are very difficult to give the leadership position to, so you should set the understanding of the dog who will be in charge in the house.
You should start introductions even before the personal greeting. It is necessary to bring the Puppy’s belongings home so that the Tailed residents can sniff and get used to the new smell.
Meeting a puppy with an adult dog
As soon as you bring Small home, he should be assigned his own remote location with no access to other animals. The meeting with permanent residents should take place on independent territory. If they are dogs, it should be outside or in a park. Pets should be on leashes to control familiarity. When your Longhair is aggressive, do not forget about the muzzle. It’s best to take care of safety beforehand. The animals will sniff each other, have a nice conversation, and if someone shows aggression, you should immediately separate the dogs in different directions to calm down. Your patience is the main indicator for the successful birth of a peaceful relationship. Adaptation may not take place as you imagined. Therefore, you should not show aggression to the animals, but lovingly treat both Pets equally. Encourage Tails’ friendly behavior with goodies and affection. When you are sure that the dogs are at peace with each other, you can remove the leashes.
It would be good for the introduction to take place in several stages. Gradual habituation is better than the fact of acceptance that you are putting the animals in front of. If the older dog invites the Puppy into the house, that would be great.
After the first displays of friendship, the Baby can be let out at home in a common space and not left unattended until a strong twinning is established. Each of the Pets should have their own food bowl and personal items to play with.
