Hi, I’m looking for some advice.
My parents have a 5-year-old female French Bulldog. When she was younger, she used to get along with other dogs, but now she can be quite reactive and barks aggressively. It’s not always easy to calm her down.
Recently, my boyfriend and I got a 2-month-old male Labrador puppy. We would really like them to get along in the future.
When we visited my parents, the Bulldog was very tense and almost bit the puppy on the nose. We tried going for a walk together while keeping some distance. The Bulldog kept pulling toward the Labrador, but the puppy got very scared, even though he normally gets along well with other dogs.
What would be the best way to properly introduce them so they could eventually be calm in the same space? Is this something that can realistically be improved, or are we risking making things worse?
Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be really appreciated.
