that depends-how old is the poodle/how small? If this house has been hers - of coarse she would show dominance !! As she should ! Also she may be terrorized over this large pup jumping around !! This is NOT a good combo ! Give the new pup restrictions on where he is allowed, let her choose where he is acceptable. Expand the area, when & IF she starts to gt used to him. Maybe when he's worn out sleeping , let her sniff him out? Watch carefully !!

place the poodle in a cage and bring the lab up to the door. every time the poodle shows aggressiveness, make noise, such as "shh!" or "no!". Do this about once a day. once the poodle is comfortable w/ this, take the poodle out of the crate, but keep him on a leash and hold the lab in front of him. make the same noise when he misbehaves, and give a slight tug on his leash at the same time. after a while, the poodle will get theidea.
