Hi All,
You may remember me talking about Base my Basenji who is SUPER Dominant and agressive… He is getting better with us - he still gets agitated and bites on the odd occasion through frustration - but over all he is a hundred times better than before. We are using the methods that we see on The Dog Whisperer and its really working for us... (we just have to be more persistant than out B is stuburn... which is VERY hard work)
I would just like to read about your experiences with adding a new pup into the house with your B's... We got a 9week old Hungarian Viszla on Friday - But Base just seams to ignore him... and when he does have a sniff etc - it normally ends in a growl- a snap and the pup in a submissive position... I am thinking that this cannot go on forever and our Basenji is just working on the thinking that ... maybe if i ignore it it will go away... He is jealous - but we are ensuring that the dogs get their own time and affection and that we are setting the pack order up - Us, the Basenji then the pup...
*We also introduced them on neutral teritory and went for a walk together before they were allowed in the house together...
I'd like to hear your thoughts...
