puppies killing each other!
Hello,
I recently adopted a puppy (about 12 weeks old - she's been home for about a month now) and through strange and unexpected circumstances, have just adopted another (I know, not the best scenario). The new puppy is almost 9 weeks old. We just got the new puppy home and the older puppy is absolutely brutalizing her! The older puppy is playing, but I'm not sure the younger is having fun. She isn't yelping or anything, but seems to be trying to get away from the older. I tied the older one to her lead in the kitchen for a bit (just to give the new puppy a breather and have her get a chance to explore her new surroundings) and the younger pup did approach the older pup and instigated play, but quickly backed off when it got rough again. So, my questions is, how rough should I let it get? I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the younger pup would yelp if things got too intense and that would cause the older pup to back off a bit. The younger pup, however, doesn't yelp and the older pup doesn't relent! Should I just let them work it out themselves? Or should I intervene if the older puppy starts mauling the younger pup again (even if the younger pup stays quiet about it). Thanks for any advice! |
