Bella is our 6 year old female mini Yorkie, my wife's lap dog. She is well behaved but was never trained beyond the typical sit, down, fetch, etc. But apparently she rules the roost. We have had our GS Kona, 12 weeks old for almost 4 weeks. Bella will not let the puppy anywhere near her witch really hasn't been a problem since she's always up on someones lap or on the couch, the puppy is strictly on the floor. Every time Kona comes near Bella or tries to play with her she snaps, she has caught her a few times which made Kona yelp.
How do we get Bella to accept the new pup? I'm afraid that if Kona gets bit and goes after Bella it will end badly. The puppy has been very gentle with Bella and will sometimes try to play with her. Bella is still getting loads of attention, always being held or pet by someone (busy house)
And help would be greatly appreciated so these girls will play nice.
