When you have accomplished this, slowly bring the scent of your new dog around by using a toy that it has used or even the towl rubbing will work.

So try it your way, but if it doesn't work, try introducing them at home. Put your corgi and bernese in 1 room and the puppy in an adjacent room with a baby gate in between. Dogs get to know each other primarily by scent and that's what they can do in this case - get used to each other's scent. When your dogs, particularly the bernse, are calm and accepting of the new puppy, that's the time to let them get together - supervised. To reinforce your bernese' position as top dog, you need to make sure you greet, pet and feed her first. The puppy won't care, he's new.

It is the alpha (you) bringing a new member into the pack. You walk as a pack yes. I would bring a friend to walk the new puppy at first behind the other two. Before you attempt to hold all three. Then you can stop in a grassy area watch for your dogs to react and respond appropriately. Putting down any aggression and letting the other dogs sniff. When you get them finally to your home never leave them alone together and always show your current dogs all the attention at first. So they don't think they are being taken over. Slow and steady wins the race. I personally would start with a walk. It is the alpha (you) bringing a new member into the pack. You walk as a pack yes.
