We recently got a 10mth old pitbull and he seems like he wants to play but the yr and half old pitbull we have had does not seem to want to play or even get to know him.Is this going to get better or worse??
Answers:
My Pit Bull was 3 when I got my Lab, who by the way was a terror. My Pit Bull wanted nothing to do with my new puppy, he would run and hide just to avoid him. In time they started to play, but it was gradual and so was the time the Pit Bull spent around my Lab. Now 2 and a half years later they are totally insperable and are the best of friends. It couple of months for them to really bond but after that it was like they were meant for one another. Give your older Pit a chance to adjust and he will be okay. Make sure their time together is supervised just in case your older dogs has had enough. But it should get better, any time I brought a new dog home it always took the older dog (no matter the breed) some time.
Probably better. Right now the older pit is probably just a bit jealous and confused by the new dog.hoping that it'll go away soon. After a few weeks or months, the older dog will realize that the little guy isn't going anywhere, and he's going to have to get along with him.
should be ok
there is NO WAY to know from a post. Dogs are diferent, and some are worse than others. I would be very very careful. Be prepared for the worst case scenerio, and also prepare for a positive outcome. If they do get out of hand be sure yuou can control it.
I have a friend that raises them
She says NEVER leave them alone
Yeah better, if he鈥檚 not showing aggression, that鈥檚 good and he will get used to the puppy. Just give the older one some extra TLC until he can cope with the change!
Depends on how recent you got the puppy. I had gotten a new puppy myself a couple months ago. I also have a dog that I had already. When I first got the puppy, the other dog didn't want to have anything to do with the pup. It took them about 2 weeks to really get along. Your dog might be the same way. They just need enough time to warm up around each other and to get comfortable around each other.
when you introduce them, the new pup should be in a kennel so that the older one can get use to the pups smell and know that he means no harm and the pup can watch %26 learn how everyone interacts and be safe. If there is any grawling correct the behavior and let them know that will not be acceptable. If this doesn't work you will need the services of a professional!
As long as the pit isn't showing aggression, you should be fine. They just need some time to figure each other out. Usually if the pit isn't aggressive right off the bat, you should be ok, but do not trust either of them for awhile. There may be little spats to determine pecking order. If you notice your pit getting annoyed, seperate them before it escalates. They will both learn what the other one will tolerate. Just don't rush or force it on either one of them.
