As some of you know I just got a new puppy...he is 9 weeks old. I already have a 4 1/2 year old 38 pound female dog named casey. She has severe fear issues, she is even afraid of the new puppy.
My question is this...out in the family room casey sniffs him and seems to tolerate him okay, when he runs back to the back of the house where her bed is she growls. He is sort of a pesky little guy...tries to play with her and she will not engage in play at all.
So ...should I try to get them together or just leave it alone? My daughter gets upset when I put them together to get use to each other I guess she is scared that casey will bite.
I think when we can walk them together it will be great because when I walk her sometimes my daughter comes along with the puppy in her jacket and casey jumps up and sniffs him but I am not suppose to walk him until he has all the shots.
