Before bringing the new dog home, prepare your house by setting up a designated sleeping area, feeding station, and toys.
Innovate the new dog to your existing pets in a neutral territory, such as a park or a friend's backyard, to reduce territorial issues.
Supervise all interactions between the new dog and your existing pets. Watch for signs of aggression or anxiety and intervene if necessary.
Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats and praise to reward good behavior during the introduction process.
Gradually increase the amount of time the new dog spends with your existing pets, starting with short supervised sessions and gradually extending them.
Be patient and give your pets time to adjust to each other. Building positive associations takes time and consistency.
Seek professional help from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist if you encounter any difficulties during the introduction process.
