Are there any tricks to introducing older dogs (around 4-years-old) to new puppies?

We just purchased an eight week old puppy, she was introduced outside of the dog room to the other two dogs a four and two year male and female. We then set one of our crates up in that dog room and the first night the puppy was in the crate with the door latched. She barked nonstop for hours, annoying everyone in the house.

The second day, we let the older dogs out first to do their business and then I let the puppy out. All three dogs sniffed one another and the four year old male wander away grumbling, he spent the next four days to a week trying to avoid the puppy. Our two year old female was inquisitive and interacted with her front the start, but was a bit aggressive with the puppy.

She was scolded for being over aggressive, but the puppy hung out with her. The second night I put the puppy in her crate for about a half an hour before I could not tolerate the barking any more. I opened the door to her crate and let her out, but kept her in the dog room.

I took the older dog inside the house and left the puppy and the two year old female in with the puppy. She was aggressive once or twice, nipping at the puppy, but after a anew minutes alone with each other they were lying on the same bed together, back to back, but nevertheless still on the same bed. The older male is coming around, the puppy is playful but not constantly running around and barking nonstop.

He has stopped pacing in the dog room when he is in with the puppy, even when she is playing or trying to take a toy or a dog chew from him. I think they have also realized that she is getting bigger, in the last three weeks she has grown about four inches taller and almost six inches longer, she has gained 16 pounds. We are lucky to have a pair of accepting Dalmatians, both have been fixed which may reduce the dominance issue between the dogs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
