I just got a new husky and...?

I just adopted a new husky. She is 5 months old. I am trying to intorduce her to my 2 year old husky, but he is aggressive. How do I get them used to eachother?
Answers:
You should introduce the dogs to each other in a neutral location. If your existing dog views the new dog as a threat to his territory then he will be aggressive. Take the dogs to a park and supervise their play let them get to know each other in a place that neither considers their territory. This allows your older dog to meet and get used to the puppy without feeling like its a threat. Also keep in mind that dogs play rough, make sure you understand dog play behavoir before you jump to conclusings about him being aggressive.
