[quote=Anonymous]We got a puppy when we already had a three year old dog and it worked out really well. We were pretty confident that they would get along - puppies are adaptable and come into a home generally good natured about other dogs because they are fresh from a litter. And we knew our older dog likes other dogs because he often goes to doggy daycare. We do feed separately, are careful with high value objects like rawhides or balls and hired a trainer right away to help with the transition to two dogs (and for puppy obedience training). Crate training helped because it mandated rest periods for the puppy and separation time between the dogs.[/quote]
