I need help i have a one year old dauchie mix (Maggie) that ive had since she was 5 weeks old! She is VERY jealous and protective of me! She bullies our lab mix (Bud) when he tries to get cuddly with me, but hes fine he can handle himself because of his size! Problem is we found a new chiuaua (cant spell, sorry) and she gets so vicious with him im afraid if she had the oppertunity to be alone with him she would kill him! I need help on how to get them used to each other because i love them all and cant imagine having to part with any of them! Not to mention that my 1 yr old has fallen in love with the new puppy! Any suggestions would be appreciated ! thanks a lot!!
Here are their pix!!
Here's Maggie and Bud!

Yes, i have been to that situation before.
You can get the new puppy and the old doggie together. In couple of days, they will be friends together!!
I have two different breeds, they are best friends for each other!

You need to give the daschi treats whenever she is around the puppy and is behaving nicely. Even if she looks at the puppy and does not growl, treat her. Don't be stingy with the treats, cut up a Natural Balance turkey roll into tiny, pea sized pieces, and toss a few each time she looks at the pup and does not growl. She will come to associate being around the puppy means she gets great treats. Learn about clicker training - join yahoo group Clicker Solutions. Hopefully she will come to accept the pup within a couple of weeks if you keep doing this. NEVER leave them unsupervised together until they are older and you can be very, very sure that they will not harm each other.

How Precious! Thanks for sharing. It seems that dogs are a whole lot like kids. You know, like when you bring the new baby home from the hospital and the child that is use to being the baby feels left out. Chihuahuas are sort of a one person dog anyway, but as in any family every one has their own special place. I wouldn't leave the
lab pup alone with Maggie if you are going to be gone away from home several hours for a while, because she would probably torment him. Just keep reassuring her that she is still very loved
If you take the dogs in the car, maybe Maggie could go with you sometimes, that might make her feel special.

First of all, your pups are just utterly adorable! Since Maggie's your 'first' pup, and seeing as she's the aggresive one, be sure to let her know she's the dominant one over Milo. If she feels her place within the pack will somehow diminish with Milo now in the family, she will become even more aggresive and may not accept Milo. Milo must also accept that he comes second to Maggie, though it shouldn't be a problem as Milo is friendly and has no aggression issues. When you bring them together again, do so on neutral ground-- outside. When you bring them inside, be sure to reaffirm with Maggie that she's still top dog. So feed her first. When she's finished eating, then feed Milo. When you give them treats, toys, or take them to go potty, same thing. Maggie goes first. It seems unfair, that the aggressive one gets the preferential treatment, but that's really how the social order works with dogs. As long as Maggie knows that she isn't losing her spot within the pack order and that she is still top dog, everything will fall into place. You'll see that Milo will accept that he comes second to Maggie and you'll also notice that when they play, Milo will roll onto his back and expose his neck to Maggie, which is his way of saying, "yes, you're the boss!" Good luck!!!

OK THIS IS HOW I WORK WITH MY OLDER PITS AND PIT PUPPIES I RESCUE. WHENEVER BRINGING A NEW PUP/DOG INTO THE HOME I MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS UP AND IN CAGES OR A BACK YARD. THEN I PLACE THE NEW ANIMAL IN A LARGE CRATE WITH SOME FOOD WATER AND A TOWEL TO LAY ON. I THEN LET THE OTHER DOGS OUT. THEY WILL COME UP AND SNIFF THE SIDES OF THE CAGE AND GET TO KNOW THE NEW ANIMALS SMELL. FOR ONE WEEK DO THIS KEEPING AN EYE ON ANY PROBLEMS AND ADDRESS THEM FIRST.
THEN ONE DAY WITH ANOTHER PERSON PRESENT, OPEN THE CAGE. SOMETIMES I WILL HAVE THE OTHER DOGS ON LEASHES FOR PROTECTION JUST IN CASE(DOGS ARE LIKE HUMANS TOO, JUST BECAUSE WE LIKE ONE HUMAN DOESNT MEAN WE DONT WANNA RIP OFF ANOTHER ONES HEAD!). SEE WHAT THE REACTION IS, IF THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF AGRESSION LET THE PUP RUN AROUND IN FROUNT OF YOU WITH YOUR OTHER ANIMAL. TREAT BOTH EQUALLY FEEDING YOU OLDER ANIMAL FIRST OUT OF RESPECT THEN THE NEW PUP. EVENTUALLY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ALLOW THEM TO PLAY TOGETHER IN THE BACK YARD OR WHERE EVER.
WHENEVER THERE IS A BAD FEELING OR A SIGN OR NON COHESIVNESS, GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS STEP. ALWAYS GIVE THE PUPPY A PLACE TO HIDE WHEN THE BIG DOG GETS TOO SNIFFY. AND A PLACE FOR THE OLDER DOG TO GO WHEN THEY PUP GETS TOO PLAYFUL...
ALSO...
WHEN YOU HAVE THEM OUT TOGETHER IN FROUNT OF YOU CARRY A SPRAY BOTTLE WITH 1/3 VINAGAR AND 2/3 WATER. SPRAY THE DOGS WHEN THEY GET OUT OF HAND. BUT NEVER INTRODUCE OR BEGIN THIS WITH OUT SOME ONE ELSE AROUND TO HELP. SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE...

i had the same problem with my 4 yr.old poodle and my 4 month old beagle.
What I did was put the puppy in her crate and let the poodle go to the crate untill that was ok with both of them (no growling, etc...)
Then I had both dogs out of their crates and held one while the other came up and sniffed, etc...
Then I let her out and let them play, etc... but SUPERVISED.
This went on for a while and now they play together just fine without any supervision.
There are a ton of dog training books avaliable. Just check a local bookstore like Barnes and Noble or Books A Million for some.
BTW...your daughter is adorable and the dogs are cute too!!! :)

i saw in one oprah show that a dog whisperer let the young and new dogs to smell the *** of the older dogs or the other way around. I cant find anymore the story in oprah's website but maybe you can learn more by visiting dogpsychologycenter.com. The dog whisperer whom oprah consulted was Cesar Millan and that is his website. The process done on oprah's dogs were very successful. I opened your websites, you have lovely dogs. Nest time i will also send you a picture of my dog, a dachshund. Good luck

I would try to let them alone in a controlled enviroment. Meaning your there watching but they dont know. Most likely there will be no problem but if there is you can jump in and save the pup. If the older one gets useto the pup like that then maybe things could be alright.
