Puppy entering new house

Question
I have a shepard husky mix who is 4 yrs old, and a month and half ago we brought a great dane pup home. They were great for the first month but in the last few weeks, they have been struggling to get along. The shepard/husky mix wants nothing to do with the pup and is starting to snap and spend all his time outside unless its to sleep or eat. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help the situation?

Answer
Once past 3 years old, many dogs don't want anything to do with puppies, their sharp little teeth, and their biting games.  You need to teach the puppy to leave the older dog alone.  As soon as the puppy starts to focus on the older dog, give it a sharp ''Ah, ah, ah!'' and offer it a chew toy.  

Continue to give the older dog plenty of attention.  Make sure it sees you as leader.  Having a good pack structure reduces such problems. The dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat. Start at http://www.dogsbestfriend.com/
