[quote=Anonymous]We got a dog at the shelter who was described as likely to do best with an older dog (presumably to show her the ropes). Since our older dog had never played beta around other dogs, we assumed that she would be able to manage a younger dog. But the older dog's response was to avoid the younger dog -- I guess that's kind of alpha behavior in that she chooses whether or not to socialize. And the younger dog is like a movie star and has taken over the center of attention -- sleeps with us and hangs out while we watch tv while the older dog is off somewhere else in the house. I feel a little sad for the older dog but we try to give her extra attention and I feed her first, put her leash on first, etc. Other than that regret, I've grown to like having two dogs. But then we always get dogsitters to stay at our house when we go out of town so it wasn't that much more expensive to add another dog.[/quote]
