Things You'll Need
- Leashes
- Treats
Instructions
Introduce the two dogs on neutral ground. Take them to a park or on a walk in a new place to avoid either one becoming territorial about its property.
Ask a friend or family member to help out by taking one of the dogs. Keep both dogs on leash and walk them towards each other slowly. Stop walking if either of them are unsure or react aggressively and turn around.
Give each dog treats for acting calmly around each other. Try to create a positive atmosphere at all times so the dogs will associate each other with good things.
Give each dog equal amounts of attention to avoid a jealous feeling. Try to spend a little alone time with each dog.
Supervise the dogs when they are in the same room until you feel you can trust them. This can take longer for some dogs than others. Confine each dog in a separate area when you cannot watch them to prevent potential fights or disagreements.
