How do you introduce a new dog that you want to buy to the two dogs that

[Crystal Powell]

you already have without much trouble? The dog I want is a pitbull and the dogs we have are eleven year old labs, the pitbull is ten or eleven

Dogs are very territorial.Introduce them at a place that is not on neither of the dogs territory.You don't want problems starting.Then ON A LEASH i repeat on a leash (this is very important.)introduce them.Let them sniff each others bottoms and let them get friendly.Also have treats to reward non aggressive behavior.It is important that they are on a leash just in case on dog starts to growl you can pull it back towards you so no one gets hurt.Also reward them for basically anything that is non aggressive cos most likely the dogs will be feeling kind of tense at that time.
I really hope this helps.
Enjoy your new furry friend!

First are your dogs dog friendly. Has the pitbull been temperment tested with other dogs. At that age either you are getting from an owner or are rescueing. Either of these people/places should be able to tell you if the Pit is DF. If all are dog F then have them meet at a neutral ground. Park, neighbors/family friends yard. Best if walking distance then walk everyone home together if the meeting goes well.

If your buying it from a breeder, or pet store, or shelter etc, see if they have a space aside from the general population and take your two dogs that you currently have in to meet the new dog.

Try one on one first, then try adding both of your dogs.

Just go slow and see how they react.

Try not to do it at your home, or the other dogs home....for territorial reasons.

Get a friend,boyfriend,mum,dad,brother,sister anyone to go to the park or beach or town and meet them up like that and see if they like each other then introduce then in the house

Hope it works

Good luck x
