We have had many questions about this, lately. New pups and rescues should be introduced to your pack the same way. Make it a calm, natural encounter for them!
🐾🐶 Meeting the new fur-sibling for the first time? Here’s how to make sure it’s love at first sniff, not a furry feud!
1. **Neutral Grounds**: Start introductions in a neutral area like a park. No one wants to make a new friend in their own bedroom, right?
2. **Leash and Easy**: Keep both pups on leashes during their first meet-up. It’s like having a chaperone at the first date!
3. **Sniff and Greet**: Allow them to sniff each other — it’s their way of saying "Hey, I might like you!" Keep the leashes loose, no tension.
4. **Home Sweet Home**: Once they seem chill, bring them into the home together. A shared adventure back to the house sets a team vibe.
5. **Separate but Equal**: Give each dog their own space with separate beds and toys. Sharing is caring, but everyone appreciates having their own stuff.
Making new furry friends should be fun, not daunting! With these steps, you’ll be on your way to a harmonious household. Need more tips on making the introduction smooth?
