Are you bringing home a new puppy and introducing him to your dog pack? You should keep in mind that you need to introduce the puppy to the rest of your pets and you have to give each camp a chance to become familiar with each other during this transition phase. This phase is really important and it will help prevent any future brawls, stress periods, or even acts of aggression. The transition phase will allow the new puppy to adjust to the new environment, house, neighbors, living area, people as well as pet "classmates". It would be a lot less stressful for the new puppy if the resident dogs would not show aggression or dominance. As the pet owner and leader of the pet pack, you need to provide all the support to both camps so the transition phase will be completed with flying colors and happiness for both sides.
Call your animal clinic Leesburg, VA if you have any concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior.
