Look whos here! Whos that? Good girl!" your dog only cares about one thing - YOU! so in her mind she wants to protect you and your territory. using a low or negative voice makes her think that you need to be protected. using a high, positive voice lets her know that you are OK, and she should be too. through a window or chain linked fence.

When they know what they smell like put more slack on their leads and see how they react. Once they seem OK let the new dog in the home,a nd watch them closely let your dog of the leash, but not the new dog until your dog seems to be at rest then let the new comer roam. Give them time to get to know each other and expect that your current dog will want to establish dominance. This process will be a lot easier if they are of opposite sex but if that's not the case don't worry. Just take things slowly, and everything will turn out fine. Good Luck and kudos for adopting a dog have a great day. When you bring the dog into the house, and first let them met on a leash, and allow them to sniff each other.

I really hope this helps...it's kinda hard to explain by typing =) I just went through this…make sure that you go to get the dog with your current dog…let them ride together and then bring them in together…your current dog WILL be territorial and that’s only natural…anyway that you can let them walk in together will be great…don’t bring him in alone…the dog will never forget that he came into HIS home!

Then put your dog in a room or crate where he can not see the other dog and let the other dog in and roam around the house to get used to it and smell your dog. Then put the other dog somewhere he can't see your dog and let your dog smell the new dog. I would let them meet at a park again after that and take them on a walk from the park home. You can also give your dog something to sleep on that smells like the new dog for a couple of days before and during. Let them meat a couple of times at a public place and let them play.

If this is the case, then have your dogs meet once again on neutral ground (someplace close to your home), and walk them back together, letting them enter your yard/home together. This should let your dog know that the other dog is allowed to be there.

If they dont then they should be fine! You can test this by hugging one of the dogs and if the other dog tries to get into the hug then he is jealous! Try that with both dogs!
