Hi there!
We are bringing home a little brother for Cooper this weekend and are wondering if anyone can offer some advice on the best way to introduce them for the first time?
Someone suggested neutral ground (which makes sense to me since I rescue rabbits and this is what we do with them). Will our backyward be sufficient since we live in a condo park and we share the space with our neighbors who have a golden as well? I dont think Cooper views it as "his" space since the neighbors dog is often out there.
Or should we take them to a park? I worry about the cold weather here with the little pup and dont want to overwhelm him. Cooper is a very gentle dog (he snuggles with my bunnies) but, like any young dog (he just turned one) he gets excited easily.
Thanks so much for any suggestions. We are very excited!
