How do I get my older dog to like my puppy?
I have had my chihuahua puppy since he was 7weeks old- he is now 3 months. I have an older dog which is a cross and he is 12 years old. I have had the older dog since he was 1, he is as soft as anything and really well behaved.
When I first brought the puppy home, the older dog was very interested but now that the puppy is getting older he seems to not like him very much. He always tries to get away from the puppy (the puppy then thinks he is playing so chases him more) and he ends up going upstairs in a huff. All the puppy want to do is sniff him.
Although I have noticed that when I am not in the room the older dog is fine and just sits there and ignores the puppy. How can I get them to get on better when I'm in the room and for the older dog to stand his ground (be a good influence)?:confused:
