I just got my EBD and he is adorable, however i see that he and my shih tzu are fighting (not a lot just a little bit). Any ideas on how to make them get along? Also i have trained my shihtzu to go outside in the balcony, how can i make it work so maybe they can go outside together? Also is it normal for the EBD to have really soft stool? Thanks in advance!! And Happy Holidays!

Sounds like your Shih Tzu is trying to tell the puppy who is the dominant leader of the pack. You need to take that role and show them who the pack leader is, so they do not have to settle it between them. Shouting or a loud "NO" will NOT do it. You have to be calm assertive in dealing with them.
Playfully get your Shih Tzu to be submissive to you. Get him to roll on his back and let you rub his tummy. Then bring your EBD over and try and get the same from him, next to each other. Do this in regular play time, but by getting both dogs submissive to you, they will learn that you are the pack leader, and when you ask them to calm down, they should listen. This will not happen over night, but if you are consistent with your play which ends with both being submissive, then you are on your way to having two happy dogs.

First of all, Stewie is trying to establish dominance over Homer. This is not a bad thing, because there will be a substantial size difference in them, and Stewie is trying to be the boss now, so he dosen't get hurt later! Trust me, this is totally normal behavior in an adult dog towards a puppy!!!
As for the stool, pups do this, especially if you have changed his diet at all. Even if he has gotten in Stewies food, it will loosen things up some. He may also just be adjusting to his new surroundings, too.
As for the balcony, do just what you did for Stewie with Homer, and he will get the idea eventually.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tr.im/ompaT
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

I am sorry that I can't help you with this kind of question. For sure is that they have to take some time together to get used.
Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008
