Introducing a new chow, female vs female
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 6:20 am
I adopted a chow in June, she is 6 years old and was an outside dog before hand. She warmed up very quickly to me with in 2 days and follows me everywhere now. Only bad habit is she barks when someone comes to the door, as long as I pet her when someone comes in she doesn’t bark at the person, she gets along with other dogs easily.
An opportunity can to adopt another one, a girl and boy pair. I was going to take the 3 year old girl (very small) because she is super friendly toward people and my mom was going to keep the male since he seems a little aggressive towards people. We went to introduce my dog Sinny to the new female Coco. Coco tried to attack her, so we tried petting her and all that, getting them closer. She seemed calm so they got close and was sniffing each other. Then coco just latched on to Sinny’s face. We managed to get them apart pretty quick. So at the moment I sent both the new male and female back home with my mom but she can’t keep both for too long.
My question is do you let them fight it out for which one is dominant female and after that they won’t fight again?
Or could I maybe put a mussel on the new little female and then maybe after a few days she will realize Sinny isn’t trying to hurt her and then she won’t try to attack her?
Or would it be easier to work with the male to get him more friendly to people and then introduce him to Sinny because I was reading a male and female won’t fight.
I just don’t want to disturb my chow chow Sinny because she is very well behaved, gentle and friendly. I would hate to see her personality change and become aggressive
