Back story….. We have a 4 year old Aussie mix. Best dog ever somewhat selective with dogs but overall will play with any dog if given the chance (she really only plays with friends dogs and dogs while she's at boarding at a trusted facility that she has been going to for trading and boarding since puppyhood)
We brought home a 12 week puppy about a month ago and she is not a huge fan ( which I know is normal bringing a dog into her space) she has not hurt the puppy or gone after him only minor correction which are totally normal and necessary I know. They will play and play outside when they feel like it and she plays well no aggression aside from rolling him over (more time on accident than on purpose because he a large breed and clumsy) but they will play outside and will sniff each other outside but inside she wants nothing to do with him and does not likehim in her space. And acts like she's miserable 24/7. Now I know it's only been a month but I feel like I made a mistake by getting another dog and that it's ruining her life. I'm already so attached to the puppy he is the sweetest and respects her boundaries better than I could ask for. But it's a constant battle of giving them both the love they want and need when we're in the same room!and makes me feel awful when the puppy wants her love too. I am just torn on if it was the right decision (no way to really go back now and it's not like it's a hostile environment so that's keeping going)
When did your dogs start interacting inside and finally become “friends”?
