    Why are my dogs scared of my new puppy?
    I am hoping someone can advise me, I have 3 dogs and 2 weeks ago I got a puppy and all was going great but the past 2 days my older dogs have been hesitant in coming out of their crates and have had their tail's between their legs.
    I have taken them in the garden 1 by 1 with the puppy and they are fine together yet in the house they seem scared?



    Can anyone advise me

    Many older dogs aren't interested in puppy biting games. They don't like being a chew toy for the sharp little teeth. Allow them to growl and snap at the puppy to say they don't want to play. When the puppy starts for one of them, give it a sharp ''Ah, ah, ah!'' and offer it a chew.
