Why won't my dog look at my new puppy
I got a new puppy. A male pembroke welsh corgi. My other dog, al male, but neutered Australian Cattle Dog, does not like him. My acd will bark and growl at the puppy if it is near him, but once the pupy goes about five feet from him, he will stop barking/growling and look away and completely ignore him. I have not yet let them sniff each other, because I am afraid my acd will bite the puppy. I have let them see each other through glass seperators and I have put them in different crates and left them next to each other though. When I do that (put the crates close about ten feet from each other), my ACD will not look at the puppy. He turns his back away from him, and just sits there. His ears are flat on his head too. I decided to just socialize them little by little by gradually moving the crates closer and closer together as the days pass, so they can get used to each other.Is this a good thing to do? What more can I do to get them to like each other? Thanks
