Having a new pet is not as easy as counting 1-2-3 or learning your a-b-c, especially when you already have an existing buddy in your household. However, when your fur baby has undergone obedience training, you may have an easier time during the transition period than those who have none. Pets with obedience training are well-behaved, reliable, and social, even during a new transition period.
Dogs tend to be possessive to their owners, especially when they sense that someone will steal their parents away from them. They become territorial and would show dominance and authority towards the 'attention-stealing-thief.' To manage any territorial aggression, put your older pet on a leash. Let the old and new pets introduce themselves to one another by allowing both to smell each other. And in case of straining, be firm with your commands. Use treats like bones, sweet potatoes, carrots to avoid anxiety and bullying between the two pets.
Your new pet will benefit from regular health and dental checks at your pet clinic Sarasota FL.
