we recently introduced another pup into our life, she is an almost 4 month old female Norwegian elkhound(Rue). We currently have an 8 1/2 year old male Norwegian elkhound (Milo). My husband wanted to get a puppy for our older dog, I was not really gravitated toward either age of another dog if we added one, I was fine with an older dog too. However, our older elkie has been an “only child” for the majority of his life.
Milo has been patient with her, he’s adapting as one would expect. Rue wants everything Milo wants, I don’t know how to stop the behavior. She is persistent, it’s hard to keep her away from him and he’s very good but I’m nervous about this behavior if it came to her being another dog.
What should I do? I have not had a female dog that I’ve adopted previously. So while it’s normal puppy behavior to want what others want, I don’t know what training techniques to use to stop her.
