I have a two year old German Shepherd, female who gets along tremendously with people
I have a two year old German Shepherd, female who gets along tremendously with people. Very inquisitive and curious about everything. For the most part, she gets along with other dogs in the fact that she ignores them. Last night my current roommate got a puppy and my dog started snapping at the pup. I thought she was playing at first and got a little excited since she really doesnt play with other dogs, but then the pup yelped and I had to tell mine to go lay down. I tried being with her as they brought the puppy closer and she kept growling at it. I understand that she will want more space but is there any way that I can teach her to be more playful with other dogs? I am moving out of my current home to be with my girlfriend and we are going to get a puppy together. She is afraid that my dog will attack her puppy. I want to be able to have them both in the house or both in the yard without any problems. She currently has heartworms and her treatment starts soon. Before her treatment is over, my girlfriend wants to have the puppy at the house. I think this would be a good time to introduce the puppy since she will have less energy and will be more apt to have a dog get closer.
What can I do to be able to have her play with other dogs rather than just wait until I throw a ball or frisbee? What can I do so that she can get along with all the other dogs?
Thanks,
Victor
