They are all just puppies you know, and they all need to be taught over time. You don't put a diaper in front of a baby, and expect it to clean itself. Take action when they puppies fight. Pull them apart every time one goes for the other with a firm "No". Try to go on walks with thes epuppies frequently, so they really get to know eachother. As for the puppy always being nervous, you can't change that about them. Yet their is something we can change about you. I have a puppy who is too very scared. Puppies like this often are scared of tall, loud people, so use a very sweet voice and scrunch down. Nervous puppies might have accidents, and you don't want that to happen.

I would not allow it and pull them away and correct the puppy that is being mean with a strong no and let him know what he is doing is inappropriate. And than again the the others are saying they are pups and maybe just playing. But as parents to bully children you must be the one to correct them.

By doing that they recognise that there is a bond between yourself and your friend. One other thing to mention and that is, that when trying to train puppies you have to be assertive with the lead, don't let them boss you. You, in effect, are the Alpha medium that they respect and acknowledge. So, whatever you do or say, they will follow.

This is called parallel walking and is often used to help dogs get used to each other without being in direct contact (and is much less threatening to either one). Your shy puppy needs this more so than her bold puppy. And you must learn to be your shy puppy's advocate. After they seem to be ignoring each other on walks (ignoring is considered very calming to dogs), you can try seeing if they want to interact by taking them to safe place and allowing your leashes to be loose when they interact. If all is going smoothly, you can drop the leads and again see how it goes. If one seems anxious or distressed, separate them and continue the parallel walking again.Watching body language of both dogs is crucial if you want interactions to go smoothly. These websites on calming signals dog use to communicate may be helpful in helping you learn what to look for when dogs interact.

My dogs "fight" all the time and they love each other. Let them run around in a place they have both never been before, let them get used to each other. Don't get scared or nervous, dogs can feel that and get scared and nervous themselves. They will get along just give them both time. Are you sure they are fighting and not playing?

You may need to keep some distance between the two of them until they walk nicely leashed next to each other. They are puppies .... they want to play (you might think it looks like fighting, but I bet they are really playing rough) How can these puppies fight when they are being walked on a leash?
