[quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I foster a ton with my own two dogs.

1. Give the older one more breaks! Puppy needs to NOT be allowed to annoy it. Very slow integration is best.

2. Give the older one the same amount of attention and[b] solo walks it used to get. [/b]

3. like others said -it takes time.

My dogs generally prefer older puppies/adults (with established personalities and an understanding of boundaries) to puppies who have not yet learned boundaries. Some puppies are better at that than others.

This will cause problems. [/quote]

We aren’t doing that.  At first, puppy did not join walks.  Then he started with one walk, then two.  Now he goes on basically all the older dogs walks because he’s old enough to keep up just fine.  We let the older dog pick the destination and of younger dog if being a pain about being too dsitraxtible, I hurry him up.  He seems to want to tag along with big brother so it works out okay.  I wish I could let them off leash more — I’ve done it a couple times where I left them run around mid walk and they had a lot of fun.  I just don’t trust the puppy that much.  The biggest problem I’m having now is that puppy wants to wrestle on the walk home and I’m telling him no, wait until you get home.  [/quote]
