Are you planning to bring a new furry and want to know how to introduce two dogs? If so, you have come to the right place. After reading the article you will know everything you have to take into account so that the presentation is a pleasant moment or, at least, not traumatic for either of you.
And it is that they may not show interest in the other, so in these cases they will need a little of our help so that they get along with their new partner.
Looking for the ideal terrain
The first thing to do is find a place where neither dog has ever been, or at least a place they don't consider theirs (as it could be the home for example). Thus, a good place could be the street, in a quiet corner that was not very frequented.
Another option could be a room that you normally don't let your current dog in. By not having left your body odor, there will be no problem.
Controlling emotions
Once you have decided where the presentation will be, it is time to take action. At this time it is very important to control emotions, since otherwise animals could feel nervous. For this reason it is also recommended that the two dogs are fastened with the strap (important that it is loose); so they can smell and greet each other without taking risks.
If you see that they move their tails, they crouch keeping their ears back and you see them with a clear desire to want to play, let them go. But if either of you shows no interest, or if you feel very uncomfortable with your presence, I advise you to keep the two dogs apart for a few days, bringing them together for an hour or two each day to sniff (look for candy on the floor) and walk together.
That way they are likely to become friends soon, but if you see that they don't feel like being playmates, don't hesitate to ask a canine ethologist for help.
