Help! How do I introduce Thor to another dog that he will be living with!?! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thorsmomma · 10-04-2005, 09:04 AM

So my boyfriend is moving into a house with his good friend but she has a dog. (yes she...I'm not worried!) The dog that his new roommate has is a female husky mix. I don't know how to introduce them. Thor and I spend at least half of the week at his house, and all the weekends. Should I let the other dog sniff out the house first and them bring Thor there? Or should I let Thor sniff out the house first and then bring the other dog there? Thor has some barking issues (but he means well, just wants a play) but I'm worried that he will scare the dog and the owner and leave a long lasting (BAD) impressionl. Please give your advise!! I need it! They are moving today and tomorrow!!
Thanks,
hannah

I would let Thor sniff the house then bring the other dog in. Good luck

I am assuming that these babies have never met....I would introduce them on neutral ground...say like a park ....that way they get to know each other and maybe not have a dominace issue over who "owns" the house...Good luck
