make sure that you are not treating him any differently. When I adopted Bella 6 months ago she and Dexter (8 yrs old) had a few tiffs. I started making sure he was fed first and addressed first. Bella was adopted after my other rescue passed and Dexter had been a few weeks by himself. Although she had been the dominant of the two I think Dexter was a little thrown off when a "new" girl came to town. Although Bella is more Alpha than Dexter, things didn't improve until I made Bella see that Dexter had "ranking". I always step in if she gets a little too rough with the play for the "old man" and show that I am in control of the "pack"
thank you

actually theyre getting along better now

i only think that frida needs a lot of love she never wants to be alone
maybe she thinks that ill abandon her just like her old family

she follows me around all the time

now bruno is so jelous
I am glad they are getting along better. I hope they continue to sort things out. Welcome to the forum and thank you for adopting a sheepdog. We would all love to see pictures.
