Re: need help (young dog & new puppy)
Try to favor her as much as possible. It seems unfair but actually good for the puppy to learn his place and work for your affection.
I all but ignored my pup when Ava was around at first. Even now I make more of a fuss over Ava. Also feed the older dog first and give treats first.
I amped up our one on one time with the older dog. In the afternoon my husband has started taking Ava on his errand runs which gives me alone time with the pup.
As cute as a puppy is I was very aware to make everything about Ava. Lucky for me Quincy is very indifferent to people so Ava still gets all the attention from visitors.
