a few days? probably enough to work out if you both want to keep it.
not as a "move". take it for a walk, invite it for a meal etc, get to know it. Play, snooze share body odour
i take to some canines, others are a task i do not need or best with somebody else
one mutt on mutt adjustment did not get difficult in the first few months, then it needed robust action, then all was sorted(the yellow hell hound and the wolf were a splendid team once they understood i was in charge and they had to work together. that was the instant beer in every orifice school of dog training, no one got hurt
most mutts are far less"challenging" than those two
a few of the downsizer crew met them as a pair when they were quite mature
ki sorted mr chompski's position after a couple of days, shaking him by the nose was a fairly clear message of his role as her palace eunuch
at the mo mr chompski has to wear his basket if he shows the slightest assertiveness
i am teaching her, not him, he does not get to decide anything(he is daft as a brush and although mostly nice etc he is not good at decisions)
odd game mutt whispering, it can be loud and quiet
if you start as pack enforcer, leader will emerge, and they will play happy families having been strangers ![](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |

wise, a "new"canine in the pack is far more complicated than most consider it
it has to be right for "new mutt" you, and any "old mutt" in the family
human/canine pack is a strange dynamic, both species need their needs supplied, usually it is the human that makes the decisions,
mutts do sometimes adopt, if they do just go with it, it will work out fine
a few doughts from established mutt is normal, extreme violence is possible, the human should be pack enforcer
love from chomps
ps my princess shook me by the nose to establish i am who i am, the man saved me from a parpless existence after 3 shakes, he was a bit slow but he was laughing too much, i was rude and she did have good cause
oops he got the keyboard, pack enforcer says listen to mutts but you choose, it is easier if they want to be family, they will decide who has what role, that is best directed and used well to create a humutt life that works for all ![](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |
