We got our second basset hound recently, I know it takes some time for them to adjust to a new environment and lifestyle. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to adjust to having an 8 week old puppy with a 1 year old basset around as well.
Our older basset is an absolute angel who adjusted to her crate, potty training, and honestly never was really whiney. This time around it’s been a little more difficult which is understandable every dog is different. Looking for tips on how to get a puppy to cope with being crate trained and actually following a nap schedule while another dog is around. We’ve tried separate areas, covering the crate, making the crate a positive place but she just yelps like crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sound like it. I feel so bad and we don’t let her cry it out because I’ve read it creates more anxiety. We are just so tired and want to make sure we don’t cause any behavioral issues by doing anything the wrong way. I’ve read hundreds of articles by now but hoping someone has had a similar experience and can help us see the tunnel at the end of the road.
When she does sleep she is stinkin cute though lol the oldest is Bonnie and the baby is Judy
