[quote=Anonymous]We had this exact situation this summer and we were upset too! It turns out our dog just didn’t want to play with a “baby”. It took a few weeks for the puppy to get older and then our dog started playing with him. They now do 3-4 play sessions a day, usually after a walk. Sometimes the older dog will go pick up the puppy’s favorite toy and just stand there with it like he’s daring him — come get it from me. And puppy is much better about not bothering big dog when big dog wants to sleep. They found their way. The one thing I would say is just don’t discourage your older dog from setting boundaries. When he snapped at puppy to tell him “cut it out” we actually praised him for setting boundaries and teaching puppy some manners. Ours is very mild mannered so we really didn’t want him to be a doormat to the puppy. [/quote]
