Well today I got a new dog :D I also have 2 other dogs. One was extremely accepting of my new dog but my other dog is being a huge butt-hole and Hates him. He bit his face - it drew blood too. It really upsets me because I don want to have to gt rid of one of my dogs because of this...
Van someone please help me?
-
Well give them a bit of time, my cats were the same way now they sometimes play with eachother, if they start trying to hurt one another break it up and keep them apart for a while :D Hope this helped~
-
I tried to break ot up. My other dog just wont listen. He makes my new dog (old dog is Eddie, new dog is Toko. ) lay down on his side. Then Eddie gets in Toko's face and growls. If Toko even moves, Eddie snarls, barks, growls and bites him. He chases Toko, growling at him. My kids haven't even seen Toko yet because of the dogs fighting. I have to keep my kids in their room the entire time and turn the TV volume up so that they cant hear it.
And I don't know if I can offer very much time.

First of all:
Make sure you spend equal amounts of time with EACH DOG so that no one dog is excluded and gets sad or jealous.
Second:
Don't treat one dog this way and another that. E.G.: You put your old dog in a cage at night regularly (or as a punishment if its not normal) and then let your new dog wander free. Your old dog will hate the new one even more, because he/she thinks to liek the new dog more than him/her.
Third:
If they fight over objects, give them each an object that is the same thing.
Fourth:
Remember, dogs naturally have this idea of pack territory. Maybe your old dog feels this new dog is a threat to the territory. Just show that he is a friend by allowing him to do things you allow your old dogs to do since they are yours, then your old dog will eventually realize that he isn't a threat. I had this problem with two cats of mine, but I just made it clear they were equal, and I was "alpha".

D: You'd better find teh puppeh! >.<
-
I'm going to go look for him - if I don't find him I'm going to put up posters.
If you know anyone who lives in my area - which you don't know - tell them to keep a lookout :3
EDIT: I found my dog :D but of course Eddie just bit his face...

I am not a dog expert by any means, and I am sure that not very many people on this forum are either. So I would suggest following the advice of more experienced people. Here is one article for example: http://leerburg.com/introducingdogs.htm (http://leerburg.com/introducingdogs.htm)
If they are hurting eachother I would suggest keeping them apart until you figure out how to introduce them PROPERLY.

I'm pretty close xDD My mother professionally works at a no-kill animal shelter, and she teaches me stuff :3
-
I took some extra classes in college to help with like animal care (not vet stuff but like... other care... if that makes sense.)
But I had a dream last night. I walked outside and Toko came up to mw. Then Eddie came up and growled so I lightly scolded him and then he literally said "ok fine." I was like O.K then he turned to Toko and said "hi." Then he turend to me. "Can I go now?"
-
Lol nice dream ;3

I sure hope so.
-
Did you even read the article I posted....?
-
Yes, why?
-
Because the article explains why your dogs are acting the way they are. Its certainly not because your dog chases off coyotes...
You should really try the crate method like the article explains.
-
The article is incorrect. A dog does not always know the difference between coyote and dog. He has fended off the coyotes for years and not once has an unfamiliar or new dog entered our land. Eddie doesn't know that the dog doesn't mean an harm. The new dog has been here for little iver 24 hours.
-
The article doesnt even mention coyotes, I was talking about your previous comment. The article talks about pack rank and dominance. All of which you should be correcting yourself.
It sounds like you are not taking this very seriously and I sincerely hope your dog doesnt get anymore injured than it already has. This is my last post in this thread. If you really care about getting your dogs to cooperate I hope you take another look at that article and actually try all of the things they suggest. Good luck.

Caging one dog makes that dog feel less love. I understand the pack ranks. Your attitude towards me is highly unwanted.
I have the problem worked out. He only has one nick on his muzzle. Eddie has worked on laying off.
I know the article doesn't talk about coyotes. I trust my own theory more than the advice of an article on the Internet.
