    New dog in the pack

    I have been trying this and for the most part, he is beginning to calm down a little. The problem comes when the cat's hiss at him, which they do and then he goes berserk! i realize this is going to take some time to achieve and at the moment, the cats are being kept in the house. they are...

    New dog in the pack

    Perhaps I should add that I have never had a problem keeping two bitches together, they have always gotten along very well, although I do usually have one that is older and one a few years or more younger. And perhaps dominance was a strong word to use but I call it how I see it - if a dog...

    New dog in the pack

    I am very happy to say that, very quickly, all three of my dogs have settled down and now get along for the most part. The only time things rear up is when Eddie, the GSD gets over excited about something, like going for a walk. By the time we are halfway round the walk, he has settled down...

    New dog in the pack

    i have 2 females, as you know. When Eddy goes "bully" the younger of the two, the older one stands up and starts growling at him. If he goes to the older one, the younger one will sit back out of the way and not take any notice. Surely that says something about a pecking order? Right now, both...

    New dog in the pack

    I did not just walk away and leave them to get on with it! they were fully supervised by both of us at the same time and, as it happens, all three are now quite happily sleeping together and playing in the garden. He gets a lot more exercise than they do, playing with me in the garden...

    New dog in the pack

    We had a more serious set-to - he went for the Alpha, ignored her warning and she put him straight to the extent that he yelped and went off on 3 legs! the next time, he went to go fo her, she looked at him and he ran off!! they are currently all fast asleep about 3 or 4 feet apart :)  I hadn't...

    New dog in the pack

    in for a penny, in for a pound. Both girls are starting to fire the warning shots and he is taking notice. He does go back but is taking longer to do so. So, i chucked them all in the back garden together and left them to get on with it. Fingers crossed, so far there have been a couple of set...

    New dog in the pack

    he was neutered about a year ago. The other dogs are not GSD.s - one is a turkish Kangal, taller than he is and the other is a Bulgarian Shepherd dog, medium breed. Unfortunately, living in a Bulgarian village, most of the dogs here are un-neutered and are not trained dogs as it were, usually...

    New dog in the pack

    He is between 2 and 2.5. He was rescued as a pup from a short chain and near to starving and has been the only dog in his home. However, he allowed females to come into his garden and play but never males. His owners have had to go back to the UK - we all live in Bulgaria - and we took him in...

    New dog in the pack

    Thank you - again! he isn't crate trained but we have the garden separated into three distinct areas - one of which is where he will stay at night and when we are not there for now. We are trying to introduce him to the girls one at a time so it isn't quite so stressful for any of them. At the...

    New dog in the pack

    Thanks. we let him and the 5-year-old girl out in the garden for a while today. he ignored her for a minute and then grabbed her, she retaliated and he backed off but then went straight in and did it again. she wasn't happy because she shot off to a place where she felt safe so I think we are...

    New dog in the pack

    Hi, i am new here, read lots of useful information already! Up until last December, we had 3 dogs, 1 male, 2 females. The male was a GSD and had to be put to sleep just before Christmas when his health failed him. We have just taken in a new GSD, about 2 years old. My females are 5 and 8. He has...
