Help: Second dog in the house
Question: Hi, My husband and I have a one year old Weim. She's great. We just adopted a second 4 year old male weim that needed to be rescued. He doesn't really like our current dog. It's only been 2 days and he is still adjusting. He growls at her when she gets too near. But I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. If so, did you second dog adjust in a week, month or year? Thanks LexieGirl Answer: Hi, The chances are extremely high that the 2 dogs will adjust to each other...my experience....2-3 days to two weeks. There are territiorial and dominance issues going on. Keep an eye out for aggression. Neuter them if they aren't already neutered. They should habituate within a short while. Good luck, Maude Answer: depends what kind of dogs you have what kind of dogs are they? Answer: The same thing happened with my dogs. I had a one year old golden retriever and then adopted a shepherd mix from the pound that was three months old. It took about 2-3 weeks before they could be civil with each other. I've had the two for over three years now and they are the best of friends. Answer: Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
