Good morning,
Would love to hear your recommendations for introducing a new puppy to an older dog?
A person I recently spoke to was told by someone to put the puppy in a crate in the middle of the yard and let the older dog find it.

That was not funny Sunnie. NO NO NO and for all those trying to convince me otherwise NO NO NO!!
This is for a person looking to bring a puppy into their world with an older dog.
My world already has 2 which is plenty for this gal and my baby girl Paige turned 11 today

| I always thought you should go to neutral ground to introduce them. That way the meeting court is not my court in the case of the older dog.

I usually recommend that the new owner have the older dog ride in a crate in the car to go pick up the puppy. I then have the crates side by side in the can so they can get used to each other on the way home. If the older dog does not have a crate in the car, then at least put the puppy in a crate so that he can be observed and smelled by the older dog, and not be right up in its face. This also avoids the new owner holding the new puppy, snuggling and cooing over it while the older pup looks on. Every time I have picked personally up a puppy from an airport, I have taken an older dog along for the ride, so that by the time we got home someone knew who the puppy was and the puppy had someone they knew. At home I recommend having the puppy on a leash so that the older dog can back away without the puppy constantly being in his face. Puppies can be really irritating, so this helps to give the older dog an escape route, and the owner a way to pull the puppy back quickly if needed. Crate training is a must. This way the puppy can take naps and give the older dog breaks. I always have them feed the puppy in a crate, so that there are no food challenges. I have a large eat in kitchen, without a table in it. I will set the new puppy up in the kitchen with gates in the doorways so the they can be free to roam, or go hang out in their crate. The older dog can have the rest of the house that it normally occupies. I can then bring them together when I want to attend the visits between them.

| Kitty has a lot of good suggestions, another one is to take something
that has the older dog's smell or a familiar home smell on it and rub
it over the pup.
Depending upon the age of the older dog and if it has ever had to
"share" family or house can be a factor. Even the mellowest dog can
feel the need to correct a "wild child".
