I have two dogs 5yr female(kind of dominant/possessive gsd) and 3year male(aussie) both are fixed. I just got another female GSD puppy and forgot how much energy puppies have. So anyway I have two questions if anyone can help.
1. My dogs are okay with the puppy just walking around but she wants to play constantly and then they get irritated. I've been watching her and redirecting her away with a toy or crating, but I'm wondering if they will come to play with her eventually or what I can do to get them to like her better?
2. What should I do if my adult gsd growls at the puppy for taking a toy she likes? I told her no and took it for a while then made her do some tricks before giving it back(trying to communicate its mine not hers), but know sometimes corrections can make things worse so was wondering if there is a better way to handle that situation.
