Hi,
I currently have 3 full grown Labrador retrievers, aged 5, 3, and 2
Hi, I currently have 3 full grown Labrador retrievers, aged 5, 3, and 2. My fiance decided that we need another dog (we have the room and everything needed for the time it takes to handle 4 dogs) and we are now the proud parents of 4 Labs. The new puppy is almost 8 weeks old, and thus far we have had few problems with the introduction of the new puppy. However, the 2 year old has been the baby of the family for some time now, and he has been showing aggression towards the puppy. He will play nicely for short amounts of time, but suddenly he will nip at the puppy and growl. I don't know if he is doing it to establish pack order or what, but I'm worried that the 2 year old will not adjust to the new puppy. What can I do to help the new baby and the old baby co exsist? The alpha of the pack has accepted the puppy very easily, and I assumed that the other 2 would follow the lead of the alpha.
Thanks for your help!
TJ
