New puppy

[shitterofpants]

We have a Pomeranian mix that we've had for 10 years about. Got her as a pup from a customer at the store.
We love her to death, but they only have an average life span of 13 years and we both would be devastated when she dies, but my wife would be crazy hurt. So, I figured I'd get a puppy and let it grow up with Sierra and she would like, teach it.

Not so, she fucking hates him. He's a miniature Pinscher /Shi Tzu mix and he's great, but she hates him.
Any ideas on how to get her to at least tolerate him? It's her house, and has been for a long time. She's pissed there's another dog and just stays under the bed, and that's not fair to her. Told my wife I'd give it 2 weeks and if she doesn't change the puppy has to go.

Would hate to do that, cause he's adorable.

Awe, thats sad for both of them. Sounds like a job for Ceasar Milan, dog whisperer. I sure hope she decides to settle down and accept him, sounds like they would make cute pals.

Give her a bit of time. And I would keep him out of the room where she's hiding so she feels that she has her own space. During the day maybe crate him here and there so that maybe she'll come out and check him out on her own time. Hope it works out

He is crate trained, and he's getting house trained really fast, so he's pretty smart for 3 month old. Hoping he can figure out how to adapt to her so that she'll accept him at least a little.
Be a shame to let him go. Gonna get him neutered and all his shots anyway. If we keep him, it's done. And if we give him away, it's already done.

 

[deviant2]

Well that's a good start, the crate and pottying. They'll figure each other out.

Show a pic of him tomorrow, in the Sundog thread

 

[shitterofpants]

Oh yeah, will do. Probably take a few new ones. I'm all like



This dog is cool.

Beat it with a shovel.

Is that what you do? Sounds like it hurts. I prefer my hand....

 

[DirtyDiamonds]

My shih Tzu hated my German shepherd at first... For weeks... Just give it time. And make sure to give your old dog lots of attention.

 

[shitterofpants]

We've been trying to love the crap out of her, but every time she comes out the puppy wants to sniff her and she ain't having it.

The puppy is asleep right now in his crate, and I've called her a bunch of times to get on the bed and get rubbed, she won't come. She's fucking pissed.

I had the same problem with my Yorkie. She was 10 years old when I brought home what I thought would be a companion for her. She hated the other dog. She wouldn't eat, hid under the bed, wouldn't come when called...I gave it a week and I had to give the other dog back. Then it was back to normal. Some dogs are meant to be only dogs.

SEMEN!!!


LoL

 

[shitterofpants]

We've decided to give him back. It's not fair to our dog. He's a great pup and deserves a great home, but our dog is terrified and I miss her being herself.
Sometimes I get my mind set and my wife needs to put it straight to me. Taking him back today. Thanks for all the advice.

i have just the dag for you.

are you really giving the pup back?

 

[shitterofpants]

Yeah, my wife is meeting the girl that gave him to us in a few hours. Sucks, but I'm sure he'll find a home, he's awesome.

dont give up
i will personally talk u through this

Our other dog is 10 and it's freaking her out bad. She deserves to be comfortable in her own home. Great pup, just not for us. She's not just a little skittish around him, she's terrified. Her eyes are rolling and shit.
I can't do that to her. Thank you though.
