We have two dogs, one a female shepherd/shibu ina mix (we think) and the other a male schnoodle. We've never had any problems with either of them. Everything is going well but last night the female was laying on my daughters bed and when she went to move her the dog gave her a gutteral growl. She's never been the least bit aggressive toward anyone in the family before. I (as the alpaha) went over and moved the dog and put her to the floor. At that point I roller her on her back and had all my kids come over and rub her belly. Do you think this is a sign of the female trying to readjust her place in the pack or a bit of "jealousy" over the new dog? We’ve brought a new male german shepherd 8-week old puppy into our home.

Until 2 weeks ago we have been dogless for a year and a half. 2 weeks ago we adopted/rescued 2 miniature dachshunds. Do you have ideas about how best to introduce everybody to each other? thanks!

I have a 10 year old Patterdale terrier (Shadow), and for the past two years he has lived by himself with my husband and I. He has previously lived with my Mom's Jack Russell, and he did fine. When we take Shadow on walks he is somewhat aggressive towards other dogs, but off of leash he seems to do much better. He has made friends previousley, and does fine with those dogs. We recently adopted a 16 month old Patterdale, and at times they are fine together but at times Shadow gets really aggressive towards her. I think a lot of it is jealousy. What can I do? Hello!

I live with my friend at the moment and we both have 3 y/o pugs a male and a female... they have known and lived with each other since they were puppies, my friend is moving out and taking her male pug with her.. I thought it would be a good idea to get a new friend for my female pug... so we now have a 8 week old border collie.. the male pug gets along really well with the new puppy but my female pug is very scared of her.. she isnt showing signs dominance but more being submissive.. she is normally pretty good at standing up for her self when it comes to her not being happy with the male pug.. im not sure what it is...I am giving her plenty of love and neither of them are getting more attention than the other.. does anyone have any ideas of what i can/ should do??

He lived in a home with a little pug that was ALWAYS chewing on his leg and biting him. It was clear the pug was the family favorite and the eskie just let him chew. This eskie was not aggressive at all to the pug so I figured he'd be nice to my dog I had at home.I have a 4 almost 5 year old easkie already at home (our resident dog). I introduced them like I had read and seen done before however the new dog (male) has NO interest in meeting my old dog (female). He won't sniff her, play with her, even look in her dirrection. She has gone up to him to lick him but he just walks away. He loves to play fetch and "tries" to monopallized my attention, but I DO NOT let thais happen. I try and make sure my old dog knows she comes first. Tonight I noticed that my female was I guess you could say sulking. She had her head real low and she was just slowly walking around the yard. She won't play with me or anything. I don't know what to do, I feel so bad. They eat together fine and don't fight. I don't understand what is wrong here.

She is loving and sweet, except "fear aggressive," especially to humans. We tried to bring into the home a new "playmate," a mixed breed male, only about 2 yoa. It was not good. The Shepard first smelled, licked, then snapped at the new dog. They would lay on the same porch and was quiet (whicj is a good sign for the shephers, becuase she usually keeps barking for quite a while - especially at humans), Any Adivise to make this work???
