Tell me your success stories on introducing a new puppy into a household of just one dog. I am having a tough time dealing with seeing my Marley all sad and resentful. We just got Colt today ( male chorkie) and she is so upset. She barely lets me touch her and she is staying behind the couch and sleepin there. she has never been the type to be like this. and she never stays behind the couch. we even put the new puppy in his own cage and they both have his and hers stuff so they arent sharing anything. She is just really making me and my DH sad. He even agreed for Marley to sleep with us tonite and that would never ever ever ever everrrr happen on a regular basis. he got pissed when I let her sleep in our bed when he was out of town. So even my husband has realized how sad Marley is.Please tell me how to ease into this new transition.

I have always found that giving my dog with seniourity all of the attention instead of the new puppy helps.. When I brought Bentley home, I already had Kallie and Stewie and neither one of them liked him.. I just put Bentley's bellyband on him and let him run around the house while I showered Kallie and Stewie with lots of extra love and kisses.. It was funny, they would look at him like "ha! mama don't like you either" It took a couple weeks and now a yr later, they are inseperable... Bentley and Stewie have to cuddle all the time and then to see them argue is just hilarious...Kallie is very easy going but if she had to choose, she would have me all to herself....I just brought Maddie home and Kallie is a little resentful right now (Bentley and Stewie love her) but I again just give Kallie all of the extra attention...Just give Marley time and she will be fine....Dogs are very forgiving....
