I always advise on collecting a new pup first thing in the morning to let it get used to the other dogs and it's surroundings. I also have a dog cage next to the dog bed my other dogs sleep in. That way there's less chance of the pup whining at night if it can see the other dogs relaxing and sleeping then it's usually quiet.

i always find my dogs never fully accept a new pup till i start walking them togther, i always try an take un jabbed pups to as safe a place as possible to walk them tho, just my way of doing things, but i find it settles all dogs, pup an older dogs a lot quicker

Worked with mine, they put up with a lot too when out for a walk with a pup swinging off their ears which I don't think they would take as well at home.

Cheers for the advice, my worry is that the new pup is going to be very small, in comparison to the other dog in the house, and he has never had to deal with a pup that he couldnt physically boss around, without fear of damage (much). Not to worried about mess / noise, that's just part of it. Also the dog in the house is very much a 'one man' dog, and gets a bit funny about other dogs getting too much attention, so im going to have to watch him like a hawk.

Very true mate, but Bam was / is fecking mental, haha. I will just have to wait and see i guess, but i have a feeling finn is going to feel a bit 'put out' to have a little tyke running about the place.

take it with the other dog ja, keep fussing the older dog out side, and when back inside put the pup in a cage till its bit bigger, as you say he might get bit funny with it, .give the older dog its own space

Yer, i got a cage her mate

Well I've just brought home a 6 week pup on Friday , he's in a crate/cage and he's in the there for afew days then he'll start to stay indoors at night and start to go out in the run during the day ,to get him used to it.

 

My older dog who's in the house just seems to want to play with him but acted very weirdly when he first say him he started to piss I think he was marking his territory but he's never pissed in the house since he was a pup but I told him off and went and played with my older dog for a while then let my older dog near the crate the pups in and the pup sleeps better . I think its best to put the cage near the older dogs sleeping area so both dogs get used to each other while safely separated. Lol my older dog runs away when the pup barks at him it's so funny

 

Atb with your pup mate

Any advise about introducing a new pup into the house hold?

introduce the two dogs together to settle the interest but after that i use a crate to keep a pup from getting itself in bother, its protection from us when it starts doing what pups do chewing and such like and harassing the other dog,

its not so much to protect the house or the other dog its safeguarding the repercussions of the actions and keeping the pup in a positive mindset in the way it sees us and other animals,

i dont give the pup much attention in the house if the pup begins to see the house as a play area thats how problems occur later, they associate environments with different states of mind, inside calm outside play,, the pup is also less likely to freak out with left in the house on its own because if it never gets attention in it wont miss it when your not there,

 

let him out of the crate, go straight to door, let the pup out to pee or whatever, let him calm down a bit THEN give attention always when the pup is in a calm state of mind, its the same thing again about the pup making associations with mindsets, if he make's an association with getting attention when in a crazy hyper state of mind thats the one he will gravitate towards to get it when older,

let him tire himself out , put him back in the crate or kennel with a big juicy bone, the way i see it the pup is either chewing a bone or asleep in the crate or running off energy outside , the chewing stage will pass seems like an age for them to settle but it will happen,

the main thing with pups is to keep them from damaging themselves by getting themselves into situation that emotionally are not ready for yet,

best of luck,

Dont trust your other dog with your pup, end of. Like you said, eyes like a hawk. All dogs take differently to a pups, like mally i find a good size cage invaluable. Other than that just use your own judgement. Enjoy.
