Unedited. This is just one of the ways I will introduce a new dog to the pack. Sometimes I do it on the walk and parallel walk them until i see everyone is good. I used to use the van divider but we just have too many dogs for that imo and it can be done more safely in my social yard or on a walk.
Ultimately everyone needs to meet (sniff and be sniffed) and that is just the first step. Then its advocating for space or dialing dogs back depending on how they are feeling. Then we get into high energy play and pack walking. Introductions are so important, and showing the dogs you understand what they are feeling, saying or need from you is vital to your foundational trust with them.
All the Tues dogs were great and welcomed Isla Belle nicely. Maverick and Nina came in too hot and that’s why i checked them. Isla Belle ran to Mister bc he was the smallest dog in the most submissive position (which tells me a lot about her) and of course he was a dick and showed his teeth, yelped and got snappy, which i didn’t interrupt. But again he’s known to be a dick if any new dog comes towards him head on. I prefer he slowly turn his head or move away so after the video i presented his rear end to her and did it properly and he did just fine. He’s not into playing with dogs bigger than him and he has a right to communicate that but he has to communicate it appropriately for that dog.
Anyhow we’re going to spend rest of the day socializing and taking place breaks (basically bringing the dogs up in energy and back down). Have a great #tonguesouttuesday
