Bringing a new puppy home can upset the routines that your dog(s) already have! It will also make it worse if they haven’t had much exposure to other dogs. Signs of aggression that may be cause for concern include the bearing of teeth, growling, nipping, and the standing-up of hair. If you notice these signs, immediately get your puppy to a safe location as a negative situation can escalate very quickly.   However, there are ways to slowly introduce and encourage your dog to tolerate and enjoy each other’s’ presence. And this begins with positive reinforcement using treats.   You first want to have your puppy in a secure location, and when you notice your older dog getting close, reward with a treat.

As your dog’s keep eye contact, reward with more treats.   Try this method multiple time
