After 2.5 months of no success getting our puppy and 5-year-old dog to get along, I looked into training options. A few places said they couldn't help the dogs' relationship, they could only help teach our puppy good manners. Our high-energy puppy is about as in-your-face as you can get. Our older dog barks at him, bares his teeth and, when all else fails, tries to get away from him. But the puppy doesn't take no for an answer, even following our dog into his crate.
Pete from Bark Busters was great at teaching us how to level the playing field and get our puppy to back off when needed.
In the 2.5 months of having our puppy, we had not been able to get them to sit on a couch or chair together. Pete helped with that.
