Brought in a stray yesterday...
    #26938416 - 09/16/20 05:29 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

We began to see a stray dog hanging around our house Sunday and at first we just ignored it. There were no signs of aggression, but this dog was still an unknown.

Monday morning rolled in and she was stilling hanging around so I suggested they take some food and water out. Of course she was skidish and took off running. This did not stop us from feeding Jacks.

Tues came and the only difference was we upped the food to lunch meat and wet dog food. Well... last night my wife and the neighbor kids helped with getting Jack's into our backyard and to my surprise, she happily went.

We all hung out in the back yard petting and playing with her. Sweet sweet dog.

Now the fun part. My wife posted a pic of the dog on a few sites and we will try and get her scanned for a chip this weekend. If everything checks out we might make plans to keep her. Thing is, we have another dog. She too is a sweet sweet dog, mini schnauzer. I have no idea how this will work.

If we did have to choose, our mini schnauzer will stay and jacks will have to go... The right way, but we would at least like to try and keep her, if she doesn't belong to anyone.

She is a much older dog, 4-5 years old and is a german shepherd mix. So... Any suggestions on introducing a new older dog into a household with another female dog, 2 years old, would be greatly appreciated.

I can post pics later too.

I’d cautiously begin introducing Jacks to your dog. Preferably outside to start with so your dog doesn't become defensive of the home if that's in her nature and you can see how they interact in a neutral setting. you can gradually work your way into the house so she can smell that's where your dog lives and become accustomed to that fact. Just keep a close eye on how they both react. and immediately remove them from one another if trouble starts.

The fact that they’re both females would probably work to your advantage. Less likely for aggression to be an issue. Ideally you'd want them to either be indifferent or happy with each others presence. either way take things slow and make sure that there's no fear or hostility displayed by either dog. Sometimes there will be initially but it should work out eventually if its not too bad.

another thing to take into consideration is food. It might not be the best idea to feed them together until you can gauge how they react when food is part of the equation. Especially when together, you might find that one dog will become aggressive towards the other while eating. Hopefully that isn't the case.

All the best with the new doggo!  :dog:

They show a bit of passive aggression, but they appear to be getting used to eachother. This weekend I'll try feeding both of them at the same time while near eachother.

I'd be worried more about the new dog punking out your old dog or worse.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Glad to hear that they're getting accustomed to one another.
:highfive1:

As for the feeding, I'd initially keep some distance between the food bowls. So that they're not standing right next to each other while eating. Be sure to keep a watchful eye so that when one dog finishes they don't attempt to go for the other bowl and ultimately start a conflict. Maybe even take the one to finish first inside so they don't get a chance to do so.
If all goes well you could move the bowls closer next time until they're able to eat side by side without any issue.

Post some pics too if you can... :cool:

Really nice of you to take the stray in and feed it.

Don't forget that it may not work right away with your other dog.  They're animals and you have to be patient some times.  They'll learn to live with each other :thumbup:

Good on ya mate. She looks like a winner.

Do you have much experience in dog training?

Dog training? Not really. My parents did raise and breed dogs when I was younger and I've had a few dogs in my past.

This new dog does sit and shake on command though. She's extremely obedient. Moreso than our dog.

I'd at least read a book on it then; one quickly comes to realize that it is us, far moreso than dogs, than need training in order to raise a well behaved one.

I think being on point with ones obedience training is key in raising a dog that will not stress us out. Badly trained dogs are literally energy vacuums.

So many people seem to just feel like a dog should behave for them without putting in the requisite work. Don't be that person please!!
