Questionwe recently adopted a 3month old shitzu and have an 11yr old shitzu as well. we are wondering how is the best way to integrate them, as with toys, time together etc. we have a dog cage to train our new pup wich is the same way we trained our older one. any feedback is greatly appreciated.
AnswerOnce 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.
In general you need to give both dogs plenty of attention, but may need to keep them separated at the time.
