How to get a pup chihuahua to get along with a grown maltese?
So i have a 4 month old chihuahua in my house, and now i am dog sittin a full grown maltese. When I first brought the maltese in it was really awkard between the two. They both seem a bit scared of each other, and my chihuahua is especially scared when the maltese comes near, so she just kind of curls up into a bowl or walks away under the couch. So how can I get these two to get along?
thanks
Actually, believe it or not, the dogs ARE getting along. Your chichuahua is just showing she is submissive to the bigger, older dog and doesn’t want any arguments. This will really help them establish their own little pack. When the maltese sees your dog isn’t a threat then it will assume its role as pack leader and they’ll be quite happy together. It’s just like new people sharing a house, they need some time to adjust. But if your dog had attacked the maltese – well then you might have had trouble!
Just keep an eye on them theyll come around on there own
