Now let's go meet Sarah save you don't, Sarah.
I know you do a lot of volunteer work with
animal rescue on some really impressed by that, why, and how long little every
year and I just love to spend time with the dogs and to do anything right hand
to help them out and example for all around town white just fell in love with
love Don and she's very we have dues here your new dog peaches hanging out is
very chill right now use in your current dog Sadie have met briefly at the
shelter and they played for a little bit tonight.
I do have
some concerns because when they were playing.
Sadie was coming on strong induced had to say
go little bit and so I want to make sure that situation doesn't accelerate and
that they kind of know how to interact with one another without communicating
is forced away the key is going to be going slow and really easing both dogs
into the new situation.
The
biggest thing you can do to throw a dog is change their environment or change
major variable in their environment.
There's
obviously a lot of variables when it comes to introducing two new dogs in every
situation is really unique to give you some general guidelines on things to
keep in mind in order to ensure a smooth transition ideally is best that you
screen any potential new dog to make sure that the generally good with other dogs,
but even if you do this.
This is
no guarantee that are still going to get along with your individual dog will be
paying particular attention to both dogs.
Body
language can tell you an awful lot. Both Sadie and dues have a lot of energy
and it can be very risky introducing two dogs with a lot of energy, not an
exercise now since neither dog knows that yet.
That's my
weight exercises dog going to have to settle for taking them on a walk to get
some of that energy would not necessarily accomplish getting to dogs
comfortable with one another in a single training session so divisive to give
you today, something that you should implement over the next 7 to 14 days so it
can be months with some dog or it can be an afternoon with others.
My
general game plan today is to break this training session up into three major
components.
First
want to get the dogs comfortable being around each other in an area that
neither one really identifies as their house.
So, for
example, that we want to encourage some minimal interaction.
Maybe
after the walk is over. Finally will get them hopefully. Fingers crossed. Being
comfortable with each other inside the house.
You also have a B cup. That's a big wildcard.
We don't know how to use his unity with cats.
We never
seen him with Our goal will be to introduce dues and meet your cat everything
is going as expected. So far we have Sadie was glancing she's pulling on the
lease that just means she's got a lot of energy in her right now.
Let's be
expected with a high-energy dog like her. This is interesting juice just gave
his longest look yet to Sadie and you know he's just taking it in there able to
assess a lot about one another.
Believe
it or not. Through all of this dogs have their own way of communicating and
understanding one another in a way that we can understand when looking at
Sadie.
I can see
that she's a lot more eager to interact with dues. Our next step is to make
sure that we can get their attention on us so we have better control.
Should
they get out of hand. Later basically it's like this since look at the tree.
It's up here my eyes.
I like that phase out the treat in it. Give me
know treat God's attention on me that I'm not a reward separately.
Asked him
to do later, so it's not such a foreign concept by taking small steps, you're
more likely to ensure success when teaching the dog doing fantastic deuce you
are a rockstar buddy.
Our next
step is to get uncomfortable walking past one another and then we'll go encourage
some minimal interaction and then will take it to the next level and see if we
get them playing together.
The goal
here is to see how they react as they walk past one another can see, Sadie is
looking at deuce over here deuce looking over at Sadie.
That was
very, very good just glanced at her.
That's
all very normal, doubtful, or hoping to see if you have one dog trying to get
at the other. If there really excited and trying to play.
That
probably means that they're not thoroughly exercise enough.
So I
recommend that you take a step back and get the more energetic dog tired before
doing this exercise that you can see she's getting excited.
This is a
sign that he's comfortable right here is going on his back rolled around him
feel good.
She
recognizes that Sadie is assigned a play she's getting a playful mood biting on
the lease is pretty simple for dog wants to play right there.
So this
is a good sign. I think they might be fine right now to kinda sniff each other
and say hello when you say we encourage them to just keep the leashes nicely
steer and keep at least loose before that the four back seat and so those are
the things that's very normal seasoning rear said good.
It is
common for a lot of dogs to behave that way when on leash more than all please
if you can pull that up.
I just want to analyze up or move on to look
at this and see what happened.
Everything
is going well until right about this is where you see Sadie's hair raise tail
stops wagging and her overall demeanor becomes a bit more guarded and keep at
least loose.
The
reason I like to see loose leash and the situation is that a tight leash when
the dog might encourage a feeling of defensiveness as a dog is reminded that he
or she is restrained.
It's really clear that Sadie took exception to
deuce greeting her ear as he made his way to rear.
This is
her way to say I don't mind getting to know you but were not the point
uncomfortable with you checking me out unconditionally, perhaps very urging is
that after the scuffle deuce immediately looks to Sarah for direction, that's a
good sign because the body language of both dogs instantly returns to that
which would suggest being in a playful mood and because Sadie's almost
instantly receptive training as asker said this tells me that this is likely
not serious though.
Obviously
we had a little bit of an unpleasant reaction there with the Sadie -induced's
not variable at all.
Many of
you have dealt with this at home, but when that happens, that's your you take a
step back them into it.
I don't think this is that serious a little
encourage the dogs to play together.
Off
leash. However, if this happens with your dogs. You may want to consider
bringing in a positive trainer with good credentials.
Remember,
always make sure that your trainer is up-to-date on the latest science and
ethics in doctrine now in the backyard with Sadie will bring deuce back out
again like I want to have her play a little bit more get a little bit more
energy out.
I think
were going to be in a better situation now if both dogs are off leash. The
reason that in this specific situation.
I think having both dogs off leash is likely
to make things better is because they don't feel as restrained, they can act
more naturally with one another.
It's worth noting that when you introduce dogs
to each other. They pick up all the toys all the things that one dog is likely
to be more possessive over so you can avoid that potential conflict from the
beginning.
There's the Harrison pulsating back basket.
She's diffuse now that a little out there for those of the little things we
want to look for to go ahead and that there this is all play on Sadie's part.
This is good behavior during these initial
stages of having the dogs interact. They're doing really well right now.
You might
want to avoid being in the middle of them giving too much attention to one dog
over the other.
That
could also cause one dog to be a little bit more protective so if you notice
that when you're trying to introduce a new dogs your current dog that they're
not interacting that's also okay.
Not all
dogs want to burst into flame immediately things going back here. I think were
ready to move on to our final step, which is getting the dogs comfortable with
being near each other while inside the house in general.
This is the most challenging part. Imagine a
new person moving into your house and how that might affect you to be ultra
clear, it's best to make sure that the dog submit outside either dogs moderate
to high energy.
Make sure that they are well exercised
strongly by if things get out of hand. Break the dogs out to get their
attention on you and then allow them to start playing again as you can see
these guys are to be buddies, but there is one more thing.
We still need to address one more variable
that's quite interesting and we have no idea how he's going to react with her.
What I like to do is bring down Mika just to
see how we actually keep him on lease because we don't chase the cat he's like
really like bugs like that so once you become what you want to introduce your
new dog to one new pet at a time as to avoid overwhelming trying to do right
now.
Some
trying to get deuce to listen to me in the presence Mika over. He's really
interested but look at me very nice that's good you want to do this under very
controlled circumstances.
Now remember the every dog. Every cat is
different so you want to use discretion based on your situation. Deuce interact
with one another.
Right now
the goal is simply to get him comfortable in the presence of her and begin
paying attention to me on the presence of Mika Brown but I don't want them
interacting just you sit and see.
Right now
she's on the ground. He's much more interested in is not taking the tree.
Yeah, that means he's were asking him to do
too much right now, so as you what you
