This could turn into a dominance issue later on.... Every time the Shi-Tzu is around the new dog, try to make it as positive of an experience as possible. It'll take some work, but he'll come around eventually

So far she has been absolutely awesome, very few accidents in the house. However, we have a very small issue, that if not addressed could turn into a big issue. We have another dog, a 4 year old Shih-Tzu. who is kind of afraid of the new dog. So far there has been no obvious aggression between the 2, but the Shih-Tzu is afraid of the new dog. (Honestly, he kind of afraid of everything - when I was walking him one night, he literally ran away from his own shadow). It seems like the puppy wants to play, and the Shih-Tzu does not, so he runs away from her. He does show some curiosity and tries to get near her, but usually, she takes that as a sign he wants to play and goes after him. I was wondering you guys could offer some advice for getting them to at least get along and be able to stay in the same room without the puppy trying to go after the Shih-Tzu and the Shih-Tzu able to relax when she is around.. -- Scott Stroz --------------- The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson http://xkcd.com/3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296768 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
