| Your poor new dog has some issues from living in a kennel its whole life. It is not a surprise she is not interested in you and more interested in other dogs.Dogs are all she knows and has bonded to the other ones she left behind when she came to live with you. In her mind she has been taken from her "family" and is now with you, strangers.I'm sure she is freightened and unsure. The peeing is probably a sign of stress or possible she was not properly potty trained in the kennel. Most dogs are not. She needs time to bond with you and trust you. Please give her lots of one on one time with you and her only, away from the other dogs. You would be very wise to enroll in some obedience classes as well.
Until the new dog and the other dogs in the family get used to each other, you should not leave them alone together. By adding this new dog, you ahve disturbed the "pack" and they will have to readjust. There is alot for you to be careful about in this situation and I suggest strongly you seek the advice and help of a good trainer. In time I'm sure your little new addition will blend in. Good luck. |
| It often takes weeks, sometimes months, for a new dog to settle into a new environment. When we take rescues into our home we always have a crate available for the dog to use as a den. We often cover the crate with a sheet if the dog is particularly fearful.
Believe it or not, the best thing you can do for such a dog is to pay minimal attention to him until he starts coming around to you. Let him find that YOU control his food supply and open the doors so he can go in and out. Feed him away from the other dogs so he isn't disturbed. Most new dogs do exhibit resource guarding tendencies so don't be surprised or confuse that with aggression. We find that feeding inside the crate works well and also teaches them that the crate is a good place, not punishment. Until this dog is really comfortable in his surroundings, forget about trying to initiate play or training. It will eventually happen don't expect it to happen immediately. Let the new guy watch your interactions with your other dogs and eventually he'll probably want to be included. If you can keep your other dogs gated away from the new boy for awhile it will help him gain some confidence. The submissive urination will most likely subside as he realizes there is nothing to fear. Mostly, it's patience and perseverance on the human's part. Lots of people here have gone through this with their own dogs so you have plenty of support here. Welcome to the forum and keep us posted on your dog's progress. |
