This worked like a charm!! Our little cockapoo is not the best with new dogs and has historically made many enemies in the neighborhood. With this advice, we PROPERLY introduced her to my sister's dog for the holidays and they peacefully coexisted throughout their stay! THANK YOU!
Bruh i let my dogs watch this vid LMAO my dogs are now homies😂😂
really was ur dog mean to the new dog and jealous?
BAHAHAHHAAHH 😂😂
😂
@@kristavideos4391 my dog was very aggressive towards the new one. I was shocked on how they reacted after watching the vid. LMAOOO
@@kristavideos4391 I have that problem rn
Wow! This worked perfectly. My older dog hates everyone, but using this method he accepted the new puppy with minimal problems. They were playing by the first night and best buds 3 days later...Amazing! Thank you
Best advice I’ve heard on introducing new dogs! I work with rescue dogs, and so many people just throw new dogs together without properly preparing. Thank you!
I wish I saw this earlier just took a stray in. It's only day 2 but my current dog is not very happy. Time to start over the right way
We adopted an 8year old pit/cane corso! He’s going to meet our 4 year old pit Roxy this Friday:) thanks for making this!:)
Sooo how did it go ?
@@inagami8683 they’re best buddies:)
@@courtneyusmcwife5665 so happy you adopted a pit bull :)
@@EvermoreisTimeless oh my I LOVE them! I’ve had my pit for 5 years and she nitrites my son:) the cane corso pit is doing so good too!
How did you guys let them meet?
We are letting out dog of 10 years meet the potentially new dog today. So glad I came across this channel
Been a faithful follower for almost a year now! Love your training and lightheartedness, Tom!!
Thank you so much Kaylyn! Means the world!
Awesome tips. We have a new dog coming into our home tomorrow! The entire family will be watching this!
I know this is an older video, but my gosh! So very helpful! A few days ago we brought a little boy , a Staffy, home who was being violently attacked by a larger dog in his house. My dog, a bixer/staffy mix, has been an only child. He's not the attacking type, but when he gives a warning growl to the new dog, the new dog is fearful of him for the rest of the day. Simply hearing that I shouldn't overcompensate with the new dog because of his past experience is going to help us a lot going forward. Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much! This is actually what I needed. Had a meet and greet that went south. Getting ready to have another tomorrow and new it had to be done different.
Super cool! Introducing baby blue heeler to our 9 mo existing heeler has been a trrrip! Practicing their obedience together has given us the best outcome thus far! This is great! Thank you!
Great. Worked. I made the mistake of not introducing them first and brought the dog into the home. It was a disaster. Of course. One of my dogs is fine. The other one NO, bad idea. Anyway, I took them for a walk. Oh my gosh, completely different dogs, different attitudes, not trying to eat each other anymore. Thank you thank you. I did introduced him out in the front yard which I thought was a neutral territory apparently not.
Was looking for a great concise but thorough video to send to my second person for our dog introduction and this is perfect! You explained this process better than I ever could have. Thanks for giving me a tool for intro success.
These videos are what I’ve been looking for, great content as usual!!!! I have been following your channel and learning to be a much more confident and stronger owner of my 2 gsds 🐺🐺 Also been implementing all the tips on working on myself ...and now have a much more stronger bond with them ☺️ thank you sooooooo much for all you do🙏🏼☯️💟🙌🏼
You are awesome. My husband and I have a Llapso Apso. Getting ready to babysit son's Jack Russel for 10 days! We watched you twice. Everything you say makes us rethink! Thank you, thank you. Will let you know how we do! Wish us luck 🙏!
We’re introducing a 3 yr old rescue to our other two dogs tomorrow. Your tips are so appreciated!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the taking it slow and safe method! I’ve rescued one dog and am considering a second rescue, I want to give my animals mutual respect and value. This video was great!
Thank you so much for explaining all that so clearly and thoroughly! You are great!! 👍🏽👊🏽
This was SO incredibly helpful! We don't hae a new dog/puppy, but we often have dog visitors and my one dog is very protective and territorial. It took me forever to find a video like this, but yours was the best!
Excited to use this! Have a brother moving in who has a dog. My 2 are rescues and get anxious with new dogs so I’m excited to try all this out to ease that tension
Love this video!!! Thank you sooooo very much, totally lost before listening to your advice and feeling more comfortable in bringing our new 11mo pitbull/terrior mix rescue home to our current 1yr old corgi this Wed 1/12/2022.
Wow thank you. Will try. I just rescued an American bully mix and I want him to be friends with the neighbors dogs.
Keeping a friends dog until octobre starting today thanks for the info will introduce the dogs like you explained
Hello from Finland! I love your gog just howling away in the background. Im possibly getting a germanshepherd tomorrow to accompany ny rottie mix. Awesome vid!
Thank you Tom! Best, most concise info on how to get your current pup to play well with your new pup. While common sense abounds in this short vid, Tom breaks it down in easy to follow steps with great suggestions. I’ll be subscribing and if you’re not already a follower, you need to be. Thank you. I’ll let you know how it goes! ❤️
Too bad I didn't see this earlier:my sister and I both got new dogs at the same time, and since both dogs are way-ok with just about any other dog, we weren't being careful about introductions. Now we have to back up and start over: little spats happened in the house. So I figure although it would have been ideal to have done it this way from the start, we can get back some lost ground by going on walks.... they completely ignore each other when we're on leashed walks together. You gotta start somewhere! Hard to do this in this weather!!
Marina Lent glad you got some stuff out of it! Thanks for the feedback!
Same!
Same happened with us!! Our 2 dogs had ZERO issues with ANY dogs! And we've boarded dogs, had play dates, etc. We adopted a 3rd dog and they FREAKED. Our two bigger dogs now have had spats :( So we keep them separate for now while we work on this. I'm now nervous 😓 which doesn't help, obviously... I just want to do this right. Eekk! Love my babies so so much!
@@lisamiller299 Can you please tell me if things worked out?
Good advice. I learned something different than what I do. I never have walked them one in front of the other and switch them. Thank you! I can see where that can help harder meetings.
Watched this today. I am a foster to Great Danes and will definitely use this video for new fosters and adopters. Thank you
Great tips about introducing a new dog that I haven't heard elsewhere! Thank you! 🥰
Excellent advise . Thank you.
A white female German shepherd just turned up on my porch yesterday. We took her to the vet to see if she was microchipped. No microchip, just a very hurt and confused dog. We suspect she was dumped near our house a week or so ago. She’s so sweet and beautiful so we took her in that night. Today we got her fully vetted and bathed 😊❤ we don’t know if we’re keeping her or just fostering but, we already have three other dogs (who are dog aggressive) so I think introducing slow and outdoors is best! Thank you for the good advice. I’m not a dog behaviorist but do love them very much and just want to see my pack thrive!!
thanks a lot my dog is going to have a new friend and i hope they get along , my dog doesnt like other dogs so i hope my dog wont be aggressive at that time
Thank you. We just got a new rescue. Our old dog was great and playing with the new dog, even in the backyard. However, when we went inside, everything changed. Our dog that we already had started getting really snappy and growling at the new dog. I realize now that a lot of that is because of my stress and treating our old dog differently. I'm going to go take them for a walk. Great video with lots of good tips.
Great video! This is what we did when we got our second husky three years ago and it went off without a hitch. My housemate’s brother will be bringing his dog over while he’s moving so I wanted a refresher before introducing my two to his.
Needed this!! Thank you so much!
Very helpful information on interducing dogs that'll be living together.
Thank you for the great and very well informed video! I have a 4 year old border collie who began life with us in this house growing up with an older sister, unfortunately the older sister actually bullied the younger one quite badly, to the point of bleeding. When we sought help from a professional trainer, as they were both puppies she suggested our best course of action was to find another home for the more independent of the two, which in this case was the older sister. Now, that’s the back story out of the way - our, now 4 year old border is extremely affectionate, clingy and doesn’t like being left alone; this is why I felt we should think about introducing another dog to her, as we all work in my house and she does have to go long periods of time in the house on her own; (she doesn’t seem ever want to play with any of my friends dogs as they are all older however, for the first time ever I saw her get really excited and playful with a Staffordshire bull terrier on a walk, once) What do you suggest I do? She tends to “act out” if she is left alone without me or my Mum at home by terrorising/chasing the cats or by scratching/gnawing on her legs and/or getting items out of my Mum’s room (stuffed toys etc.) and bringing them downstairs to chew. She is a really lovely girl but she does get jealous extremely easy but I want her to know it’s okay to play, I really think with her older sister bullying her all the time when she was younger she doesn’t understand that it’s okay to play and that she won’t always get hurt :(
Your amazing. You have help me so much with my dog. Thankyou for sharing and creating these videos . Empowering
Just found this video. So many things I wouldn’t have thought of. We have an “only child” but want to try fostering another pup from a shelter. Not sure if it will work but your insight will give us the best shot I think. Thanks!
This is my first video here and in just the first 2 minutes i could already tell my wife and i like this channel the advice is very good all that is left is to apply it to our situation and hope for the best
This video was awesome!!! We’re adopting a new dog this week and it’s been almost impossible to find really good information on how to introduce the dogs properly (our current dog has been an only child for 2 years). Thank you so much for posting this, I can’t wait to try out these steps!
Bet bro 😅o
This is great - thanks so much! We add our new dog tomorrow. I took notes. I’m ready!
Got a new dog and introduced him to my female dog. They get along great and Play which is nice cause they can set boundaries for each other. But its literally constant. They're always playing. It's exhausting.
You're so lucky tho! I have an Italian greyhound who constantly wants to play with me even at age 8. Got her a younger dog yesterday. The new dog follows me like a shadow and completely ignores my poor IG. No interest in her play instigation at all so now I have 2 dogs that want my attention 24/7 😭 maybe she will warm up.🤞
Thank you for this video, very informative! I am going to foster and these are really good tips and excellent information. I want to bring another into a house with two more and a third that comes often (daughter's dog) and this video helped bring things into perspective regarding introducing which is something I have not had a problem with in the past but want to be prepared for on this new adventure. Again, Thomas, thank you!🦮
LOVE THIS! Great advice. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a Jack Russel Terrier that I think was from a puppy mill and wasn’t socialized at all. We got a new puppy and we were so worried they wouldn’t get along. Many sleepless nights. We followed your steps and they are inseparable. We got the best possible outcome. That I you so much for your advice!!!!
How long did it take for your dogs to start to get along?
I really appreciate you doing this! Thank you so much!
I got my new puppy two days ago. They have already been playing and I make sure to have their own seperate beds. When Navi (Nahvi) gets into Tru’s bed (My baby beagle!) I make sure Navi knows that’s Tru tru’s bed. Or no that’s Tru Tru toys. And I’ll praise the new puppy for choosing a different toy or offering her 10 different ones until she picks one she likes. And praise Nahvi for choosing her bed. I’ll say good bed good bed. Glad to know I’m doing some things right. The puppy also sleeps in a kennel. That way Tru knows that her place in the bed is secure. Good information! Thankyou!
Thank you this video helped me to at least start the process of introducing the dogs.
youre so great at the general conversation, an excellent teacher is the definition of mastery, i truly enjoy your knowledge and charisma, thanks again!
Thanks so much for that!
Great advice thanks. My husband and I just adopted a new dog from the shelter so I'm really nervous and hesistant on how he will be esp with our current dog. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for making this easy and fun. I'm always reticent to watch these types of videos because sometimes it feels overwhelming. I feel good about this.
Really good tips, especially the tiny tips like limiting emotion and being intentional about low leash pressure. Excellent. Thank you
you made me pursue my dream of dog training
You're awesome! I watch for training shows s lot and just going you! Love the no hate bigger too keep it up!
Thank you so much for making this video and doing it is such a way to add some humor and examples also, your video was recommended to me by a good friend who does a lot of rescue and fosters as a way to introduce my fathers dog to my two dogs in a proper manner his dog is a smaller Australian sheppard/ border collie mix and is very timid and even fearful and skittish were as I have two pit mixes one is a older male who is pretty mellow and henpecked by my younger female but she does get jealous when you pet the male and will get in the in between you and him and will also bark at him but he puts up with it and excepts it but I also don't want my female to interfer or get jealous when my dads dog wants attention from him this video gave me some great ideas on how to properly introduce them thank you so much
Great advice as always. I tend to get a lift to pick up a new pup and take my other dog/s with me and I sit new pup on my lap so the older dogs/dog knows the pup is under my protection. I always have bitches and never had an issue doing it this way. I stress, this is with young pups only. With older dogs I would do as you suggest. So important to get this right. Best to relax and ignore the dogs mostly. When home I take all dogs and new pup desperate for a pee into the garden. Always under supervision . Great video Tom. So important to spread the love equally between the dogs . People do tend to feel sorry for rescue dogs and that won't help any dog. We need to make our dogs feel safe : ) You're doin g great work Tom : ) Thanks
Watching this again. Absolutely spot on! Great advise 👍
Glad you said about them meeting outside, I told my wife we should introduce our dog and new dog outside but she didn't want to listen to me (surprise). Thanks for the video!
Thank you soooooooo much for sharing such Great Info. Really appreciate your time and willingness to share and teach us how to work with our dogs. Totally Appreciate You !!!!!!!!!!
Great points, we went wrong in getting our pup with a family members dog by just letting them play all the time, they became obsessed with just playing and wouldn’t focus on anything else. They unfortunately lost that dog a few months ago and have recently gotten a new pup, doing things properly this time and all is going well!
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Did you ever find him/her
Gdgh Hhjkjj I think he meant that the dog passed away
Love this!! Thanks so much for your professional help and direction.🤗.God bless!
Thank you so much for the great info Thomas! You posted this exactly when I needed it :)
Thank you for the tips! I was going to be extra nice to the new dog but I guess I will hold that off!
Awesome video with great information !
kind weirded out this came up on my home page. my friend Gabe and I are about to introduce my husky pit mix to his chow pit mix and we were just talking about how to do it. I was meant to find this video thank you so much ❤️
Thanks to you , so very much appreciated all the tricks . We got two yorkie . And the first one been with us for 9 years . And now we decided to get another 2 mos old . And omg its a desaster . But after we watch your channel then we realize that we all did wrong how to introduce the new yorkie to our old yorkie . We will do what you say ' wish us luck . Thank you to you so very much .
Hi. Thanks really appreciate you vids, I get something from every one of them , really helpful and good of you ,.....Thanks from the South Wales Vallie's, U. K.
Thanks so much Allan! Much love!!
Great advice! I have become involved with a rescue. I have 3 dogs of my own and we are getting our first foster today. I'm by myself and I've been training for over 20 years. You have really great tips about staying calm and not over-doing the love on the new dog. Most of the time I'm training basic obedience, PTSD dogs, and I have trained one protection dog. My question is, since I'm by myself, I'm trying to think of the best way to introduce my new foster into the home/existing pack. I have one male and 2 females. My girls are both rescues and get along with almost everyone. Or older rescue was actually a bit reactive to other dogs when we first got her at age 5. She is now 10. We used the "zig zag method" to correct her reactiveness and I couldn't believe it worked. It took us maybe 10 minutes. It didn't magically "cure" her reactiveness but we went from 3-5 fights a day to 3 fights in 5 years and those were tiffs more than the fights they use to have. Anyways, I'm trying to think of how I can safely introduce this new female bully-breed foster to my male, safely and by myself. My male is my unpredictable element. He's been to the dog parks before but I always had his ecollar on. Most of the time, he was fine. Every once in a while a dog would over step their bounds or he would be invasive and rude and the other dog would tell him to back off. Of course, he received that poorly
Thanks for the advice! We’re talking about getting a second dog but while our first dog used to be around other pups all the time and lived with one for years, ever since we moved out of my dad’s house and into a place where she was the only dog, she can be a little aggressive with other dogs. I think if we follow this advice, she will get along well with other dogs again as long as we introduce them properly.
how did it go?
Thanks for this video Introducing my mini poodle to our new 2yo 50lbs border collie. Fingers crossed!
WOW this video is amazing. We are introducing a new foster dog with physical weaknesses (recovering from being hit by a car and pelvis/legs shattered) to our pack of 3: currently 2 old well socialized and easy pit and heeler mutts and 1 adolescent nervous, high strung/high drive dutch shepherd type mutt. I plan to utilize ALL of the advice and insight given here and will absolutely save this video to share with all my friends who are adding new dogs! Would you consider making a Spanish subtitled version of this video so I can share it with my local friends here in Ecuador? It would help our rescue work SO MUCH. Thank you!
I think you're the only one that watched it first. Great job!
Thank you. Theres not a lot of instructional videos on this subject. Thanks
Super helpful video. I'm 50/50 on bringing a new rescue pup (12 weeks old) into our home with our 4yr old rescue mutt - could happen in 4 days. I'm prepping the home but still concerned about how we can make this a calm, solid introduction. I know to do the walk on neutral ground, and we plan on it. I'm concerned about ALL the days that follow. Anyway, thanks for the video.
I don't understand why some people disliked this video. One of the greatest advice, especially being a "general video" . Thank You for taking time to make this a cool video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. We have a new dog and have been having some challenges in introducing him to our other dogs. This definitely helps.
I’m so thankful for this video. I need to get my current dog to accept a new dog. This sounds like an awesome and reliable way to avoid disaster. I’m hopeful. Thanks a bunch!
Hey, did you do it? 😢
@@rebecalukacs3551 I was not able to do it. The rescue dog I decided to adopt was so absolutely traumatized by us putting her in the car and driving an hour to our home that she would not even stand. It was awful. We had to physically pick her up and bring her in the house. We have since overcome most of that and now she loves walking on her leash and getting exercise. I’ve rescued a few dogs but this one has been the most stressful. She’s a dachshund pit bull mix and 3 years old. She was found abandoned in some woods in Georgia and was pregnant. I’m pretty sure she was abused. She’s so much better and I think with time and patience she will be more carefree. Cheers!
Thank you, Tom! Great info!
I love watching your videos. Makes me feel like I can do this
About to go pick up our new foster right now! We know our dog Elf is an angel but we didn't know any of this! Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
I wish I had seen this video last week! Have a 4 yr old Jack Russell and adopted a 1 yr old lab/husky mix. Did everything wrong! How do we recover? Have each dog separated in house but hard to spend time with hubby in same room when each dog needs one person. Lab has so much energy and Jack is trying to be in charge.
Thanks, Thomas! Great video :) really helpful
I definitely needed to watch this because my dog needs so much attention or she feels like we are leaving her. We got a new dog, and for the first time ever, she yelped for attention as my parents were giving the new dog attention.
Thanks for the info! Shelters aren't doing dog meet and greets before adopting, now so if I were to adopt this male GSD that is available, I'd have to introduce him to my 2 overprotective female GSDs on my own. Now I know must be neutral ground, and side by side.
Thanks for this! Very helpful!
Awesome vid as always! My 3 dogs met new pit mix puppy at adoption Center. I learned lots having an expert watch them interact that 1st time. When we got home I knew who was going to be resource guarding ME and not just toys/food. 1st week was slow interactions using kennels to separate and 1 dog at a time with puppy. 3 months later and all is well :)
Michelle Anderson thanks so much Michelle! I do appreciate your feedback!
Going to meet a new Yorkshire terrier today to see if he is a good fit with my Yorkshire terrier, thank you so much for your help and guidance.
Having a home visit for a rescue to meet my current dog and this has definitely helped me decide how I want to go about introducing them. Thank you!
Thanks! I'm wanting to get another German shepherd. This will help so much!
You are welcome Kimberly!
Well done ! Perfect advice, well explained.
We have a 7 year old pitty that we are about to introduce to a 6 year old foster, my parent sent me this and it sounds great to try! Especially since our pitty can get jealous and resource guard new dogs often 😅
Wow this video is very helpful. Thanks. We are getting prepared to adopt a new dog and we are nervous of the process of introducing our dog to the new one. I am sure your recommendations will help us.
Getting a new male dog tomorrow! To introduce to our female dog..hopefully they will work together and do well on our 13 acres with our 3 children. Your video is helpful and your'e clear and concise! Love it! Keep up the awesome videos!!😘💗
How was it? I’m getting a male puppy tmw too and introducing to a female
thank you! I did not think about picking up the toys. I let you know how it went. You are great!
Great tips. Next week we adopt a second dog (an older cairn) and hope that our dog will accept him
Did he ?
How’d it go?
When I rescued a new dog to my pack of 6-7-8 dogs I had the new dog at the vet, then shuttled my other dogs in pairs to greet the new one on “neutral ground” for 10-15 minutes, then went home with my two dogs and drove another pair to greet the new dog. Of course, that took the whole morning. Then when I brought the new dog home to the pack the pack was already familiar with her and “we,” dogs and I had no problems. I know such a thing is not for everyone, but I knew my dogs and what I did was based upon observing their behavior with adding new dogs to the pack
Hi Tom!thanks alot for all the details!Good work!
great advice - especially about staying outside on property first...........
Wonderful video, very informative. I was proud to know that I had a lot of the same ideas for introduction. Always learning more, thank you so much!!
