amy advice on this. both my dogs are of a good nature and are both very loving and good tempered

Answer
Well the best way for them to get used to each other is to just let them sniff each other for a while,and also pay a lot of attention to the older dog,so he won't feel left out

Activities such as taking him for walks on his own,as well as playing with him on his own then slowly let the puppy in on the play time-then the older dog may see the puppy as fun,and won't be afraid of him
