Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

New 8 week puppy and small senior Dog/Cat Empty
PostSubject: New 8 week puppy and small senior Dog/Cat   New 8 week puppy and small senior Dog/Cat EmptySat Dec 16, 2017 1:25 am

Hello! I recently just adopted an 8-week old husky puppy named Bella. We also have a 10-year-old cockapoo who is not quite as socialized as we would like. We also have a 16-year-old cat who has been minding her own business upstairs.

I have noticed that the senior dog has been good about playing until recently where it looks like she is getting territorial. I am nervous because I am thinking about the future of when Bella becomes full grown and will not like the senior dog making growls at her.

I have heard that it is good to have the older dog do this who teach the puppy what is good and not. But I am getting nervous about the Husky becoming too aggressive with our senior cat and dog.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks to make sure that Bella grows up to not want to cause any harm to our other animals?

Thank you!

Huskies play rough. It's important for the other animals in the house to set their boundaries and for you to as well. If you think she's being too rough distract her with a toy, make her work on tricks, something to break her intensity and give your other animals a break. Never let her chase the cat and make sure the cat has a sanctuary to go to Bella can't get to. The older dog will most likely correct her before long and it's usually a good education that sticks. Just monitor to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. They will get used to each other in time and all should be good.

This is a great discussion. Jenn, your statement on sanctuary is one I'm working on for Christmas. The elder Corgi stays in my son's area when they visit and has an alternate schedule for the yard and porch. Grant has learned to lie down and let her pass.

Corgi girl doesn't want to play with him. I sometimes wish things were different, but they didn't grow up together, and their personalities and play styles don't match. As you said, Huskies play rough.

All the best with Bella, bballbabe1855. Smile
