Five-month-old Husky and 12-year-old Welsh Corky can't get along.

Well, the first time I got a second dog, it was the same. The big dog tries to hit the puppy, or the puppy is beaten while playing with the big dog.

I don't analyze the reasons, just say how I handled it.

1. Actively consolidate the position of the big dog, let the big dog eat first, let the big dog go ahead, touch the big dog first, care more about it, and let it know that the puppy will not endanger its position, otherwise the big dog will be more disgusted with the puppy and bite it when you can't see it.

Don't let the puppy pester the big dog to play, because what we are watching is playing. In fact, for big dogs, it is a challenge to their status. We should take the initiative to stop the puppy and let it know that it is its boss. Don't be offside.

3. When there is no one at home, the big dog is as good as before, but it is best to lock the puppy up for the first time, but it is best to lock it in a place where the big dog can see each other but can't touch each other (such as a cage), so that the puppy can see the daily life of the big dog and understand the rules of this family, and at the same time let the big dog understand psychologically that the puppy will not endanger its position, not only not, but also let it have a "little brother".

4. properly prevent the big dog from hitting the puppy, that is to say, when it is not dead, it is generally just to scare the puppy and not to shoot. Otherwise, with the support of the owner, the puppy wants to challenge the status of the big dog, which is in trouble. I once met a situation where a family loved their later puppies so much that two dogs became enemies and finally had to send one away. This situation is particularly easy to cause status disputes when the age difference between the two dogs is relatively large, but the size difference is not big (controversial), or when the size of the later dog gradually exceeds the original dog (such as your family's situation).
