Bellnollie Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have a 2 and a half year old girl dog here and we are getting a 12 month old boy dog tomorrow. I am just wondering the best way to introduce them? Do I put them both on leads or just one? which one? neither? Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I would let them meet on neutral ground - when we got our last pup I bought Micha out on a lead, and let them meet out the front of the house. I would keep them both on lead initially. We did something similar when my friend got his new dog too, except because his dog was older, we took Micha and his dog Oprah for a walk around the block together.

Bjelkier Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 have both dogs on lead, let them meet for the first time in a nutural place like a park and then walk them back together so they can get a good smell of each other. Other then that I would keep a very close eye on them over the next few days, all interaction should be supervised and when you go out keep them appart just until everyone has settled down. Someone else should be able to give more detailed examples of what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Midol Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It took me 6 weeks before I let Lily and Gizmo run together when I wasn't here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
