My mum has a border terrier who is 18 months. She is a gorgeous little dog and both me and dd love her and have lavished much attention on her when we visit, we've also dog sat and walked her and had her to stay at ours a few times. We now have a puppy (collie lab cross) who is now 15 weeks and very gentle and sociable. Loves meeting new people and dogs and is coming on brilliantly with training.
Our problem is that we've tried to introduce them in the hope that we can all have lovely long walks together. We've done it on neutral territory, walking them together in local parks etc. my puppy is a typical puppy, leaping about like a loon and generally wanting to play. My mums dog is, we think, jealous! She snarls and growls at my puppy and is generally quite unfriendly.
Does anyone have any top tips to get them to get on a bit better?
My mums convinced that I'm the problem as her dog adored me and is apparently broken hearted that a I have a puppy!
