2 puppies 1 house - Page 1

PLS guys give me some ideals on how to safely introduce my dogs 2 each other in a way to cause the least amount of stress 2 them
Toska girl 6 months
Tyson boy 8 weeks

Suggest you let them meet on neutral ground, so Toska doesn't feel
she has territory to defend.  Take them for a (short) walk together.  You
may want your wife or someone with you so you don't have to hold them
both yourself.  Two puppies, opposite sexes - should be a "playmeet"!
 Just don't let her tread on the little fella.  Maybe borrow your neighbours
yard ?
 Good luck.

thx @ hund, am nervous, cause toska is rough, and i dont want her to creat a fear of dogs, or nontrust in me, in tyson as he is only 8 weeks, and creating his fears and trust now

Put up a temporary fence between the two.  The bigger one will play with the little one, with the little one coming out last.  Bad for temperament.  So keep apart unless you can supervise, and I do mean supervise.  By three mos of age the little one may hold his own but don't count on it.  By four month he probably will be able to stand up to the female.  At some time you can let them live together and they will not cause too much harm to each other.  I had a 3 month male who tried to dominate my older stud dog who was good with pups.  The older dog had to put the pup in his place,  Yelp and blood in one ear.  Well at 5 month of age,  tape,  tape,  tape the ear.  As an adult the younger male had scar tissue in one ear.  So separate different ages until they are "equal"  In the house, one in and one out of a crate would work.  Good luck.  Alice

thx alice. its only been 1 day. right now lil boy is scared of girl, because, she about 4 times while kenneled rased hell when he got to close. every time i take girl out i let her sniff him a few times, she seems 2 b ok.... right now i have her tethered and she just lays and watches the pup, then plays then watches... when anything it was a bark or 2, never dangerous body land, i think its just"i wanna play" ima take it slow..........BOY AM I SLEEPY THOUGH forgot about those pee breaks every 2 hours lol

Eight week old is way too vulnerable for a rough-neck six month old. It's like putting a three year old human kid out on the foot ball field with sixteen year old kids.......
Permanent damage can happen in the blink of an eye. The six month old doesn't have the self awareness yet to avoid injury to little pup.
Many years ago, I had a sixteen week old and a ten week old husky crosses. They played fine, 'til there was some treats on the ground. In an instant, the sixteen week old bit the ten week old and the little guy died in my arms....it went from playing to dead pup in less than three minutes. And they were buddies...the older pup didn't know his strength.

Keep them apart and tethering the female is going to frustrate her.

she gets tether a lot, ive done that from 8 weeks wit her, as in my house doggies dont get free reign until FULLY POTTY trained.she is acting fine on her tether its a 10 foot tether with plenty of toys.........I KNOW she doesnt know herown power, trust, she stil me doin me in during play time............rough estimate when is ok, i was thinking 5/9, possibly, as she will be big, but so will he, .....yeah i dont think she would hurt him on purpose, SHE JUST SO DAMN ROUGH, when i got him homt i got him some toys, and her some new ones 2(side comment has anyone heard of these toys,kinda like a stuffed popsickle, u wet and freeze themOMG toska luv's them).........thx 4 advise....................anything else other than b CAREFUL, and take it SSLLOOWW?..........though i know this isnt the optimal time in either of their lives to bring a new pup, i have the time til may to do it right as long as i know how. i am home ALL day everyday, thought i crate toska @ night, im still sleepin in living room wit them. to try and make things as easy on them as i can

Just keep up the vigilance and be patient. You already know you didn't get the best age difference.

Lol   Have fun.  Don't forget the daily one- on - one time with Toska; you still need to keep that tight bond with her.

The best advice I was given with my 2 pups was to keep them separated and make play time with me, not with each other.  This has helped greatly with keeping them focused on me.  My pups get play time with each other, but it is limited and under supervision.

Remember, Toska is starting to come into the hormone change with Heat so being grouchy will become the norm for awhile and anything can set her off.
