Introducing Pets
Hello,
My roommate has an American Stafford and I have a chihuahua/terrier mix that have recently been introduced. The stafford has been at the residence longer than the chihuahua and they aren't getting along. Basically the stafford wants to eat my chihuahua. Any suggestions? My chihuahua hasn't been desexed and is much younger than the stafford. They are both very territorial and neither of them submit to the other. When they were initially introduced, they were both off leash in a neutral park that neither had been to. They froze and started at each other for a few moments, and then they started going at each others throats. Needless to say, the chihuahua wasn't doing to well so we pulled them apart. Had the stafford not been wearing a muzzle, the chihuahua would have been seriously injured, if not killed. So we have brought them to the house and are keeping the stafford outside and the chihuahua inside. We have tried to get them together, and the chihuahua seems to be making progress: wagging his tail and acting playful around the stafford. But the stafford tries to attack the chihuahua at any chance he gets. If anyone has had a similar experience and has any solutions to this situation, please post a response. Thank you, Corey |
