New puppy and older dogs

Tori10 Jul 05, 2006 11:31 AM

Hey everyone!!

Okay, so I think I am crazy! I have two adult male dogs - one nuetered and one not. One is 12 and the other is 10. I went out an got a female, spayed pup. She is about 9 weeks old.

I wanted advise on getting the older dogs used to her. She wants to play and of course, they do not. They warn and she does NOT get it. My older dog, the 12 year old, lays there like a target and will not move (he has arthritis). She will just keep on coming and does not get his warnings. I am afraid that she will get hurt. he does not go after her, but one of these times his nep may connect.

Right now, I am just telling her no, moving her away, and giving her a toy that is okay to play with. Is this the right course of action????

Thoughts and advise would be greatly appreciates!
