No offense, but your aussie should not have been brought home till at least 8-9 weeks. It is at that age they are physically and psychologically ready to leave their mom and littermates. Knowing that there is nothing you can do about that now, the best thing you can do is to introduce the puppy to the other dogs ALWAYS with Human supervision. The dogs will want and need to establish their pack order. The sooner they get to know one another and know where their place in the pack is, the sooner things will settle in your home. Be sure to keep an eye on them at all time, especially with such a young pup. Try to keep the same routine as far as feeding and exercise and incorporate the little one to it- you dont want to upset what has been come stable for your other 2 dogs. Don't feed your puppy first (or at least where the other dogs see you feeding it first)- they may feel threatened at the pup becoming alpha in the pack. Good Luck!

I would separate the older dogs from the younger one when you feel like a longer session of puppy love. That way they they don't get too jealous and try to interfere with the pups love time. That can sometimes cause fights. The answer above is a very good one, I think that you should consider it also.

Make sure you let the older dogs know they are still higher in the "pack" order than the puppy by feeding them first,addressing them first and letting them out the door first. Just because your pup is demanding doesn't mean you have to bow down to its demands. ;)

first always feed and pat the elders first !!always!! this reinforces your place as head of the pack and assists the olders dogs stations in it. as lovely and pushy and cute as the pup is he must learn his place asap. especially as one is so small and old.
same with feeding and sleeping. your older dogs beds are sacred to them, and it needs to be reinforced by you. if he butts in on someone elses cuddle time gently push him away and say wait! finish your other hugs then allow the pup to have his time.
it takes effort but it can save a huge authority/fight issue as time passes. all the best, laurel

if they all like each other they can all play and get the same attention and older dogs tend to love the smaller ones but if they don't like each other then you should get the puppy out and make a time on witch day to play with each of them
hope i could help.

Socialization is approximately fidgeting with different canines. that's stated that in case you like a very socailized canines attempt and introduce them to one hundred fifty new issues at an analogous time as they're youthful. Take them places and to fulfill human beings. Take them to the park, to petsmart, to everywhere you could. with reference to the play struggling with. you would know while it gets extreme. enable them to play. Its sturdy excerise. basically make specific thats no longer all they do mutually.

Dogs are pack animals. As long as they know they are still part of the famil they will be fine. They usually adjust well with a new arrival.
