[Dailydrool] introducing a new puppy - Sidney

[melissa gibson]

Barb,

My advice seems to be differant from the others but this has always worked well 
for me. I have always put the new dog out in the back yard which is fenced and 
then let my other dogs out into the yard. They usually sniff around for a few 
minutes before they even realize there is another dog in their midst. I have 
always heard not to bring the new dog into the house through the front becuse 
the other dogs will see him as an intruder of their territory. In the yard they 
all check each other out, sniff butts and then all tromp into the house 
together. I have done this with new dogs, fosters, overnighters and never had a 
problem. Best of luck with your new bundle of joy!

I posted this a few days ago, but I have had no responses.  I have looked 
through the archives but can't find anything or maybe it is just me. I am 
getting a 16 week old puppy 10/26/12 and would like some advice on how to 
introduce my 2 bassets to her. I will be taking Louie with me to pick her up, 
Zoe will not be going, she is not a traveler. Sidney will have several crates 
set up in the house. Do I just put them together and let them figure this out on 
there own? Is there some magical transition that I can do to make this a good 
thing? You guys always have such good advice, could you share a little with me?

Thanks!
Barb
