Another step forward with our pups. Luna & Mika are starting to bond.

Introducing a pup to 2 other dogs can be very stressful. Will they get on, what happens if they don't, having to watch them very carefully, making sure they all get your attention.

We introduced Luna to Geordie and Mika a week ago, it didn't start off very good as Geordie and Mika are set in there routines. Introducing a hyperactive tiny pup to there lives must have been a shock so we had to made a few rules.

Geordie & Mika get cuddled first.
Luna has to wait her turn
Lots of praise and rewards
Geordie and Mika both need there space

We had to do the same when introducing Mika to Geordie. They need to know just because there is a new pup they are still loved and wanted

Its only been a week, we were expecting a few weeks of hostility but this has been a massive jump to Mika & Luna's friendship.

Mika is starting to accept Luna, she is fascinated in her as written Luna is playing Mika sits and stares. Maybe it's because she is a lot smaller Mikas isnt sure what to do. Geordie likes his space, he it's getting old (11 now) having a energetic pup running around is sometimes a little much for him

Every little step forward is a step in the right direction.


Thank you son-of-satire

They are at least sitting together! Progress in small steps!

Taking one day at a time :)

Oh they sitting together, this is great, hope it continues in this direction @karenb54

I hope so too. Think they are staying out of her way due to her shockingly sharp teeth lol :)
