Bringing in a new pet help needed!

I just got a 5yr old American Bulldog. He belonged to a friend of mine. He got rid of him because he has a 2yr old baby girl, who would always give the dog hell. He never bit her or tried to, but he was nervous the dog would get tired of it. Well at my house I already have a 5yr old Long Haired Dachshund. I tried to introduce them on neutral ground, but they came after each other. It has been a pain trying to get these two to get along. I am nervous about letting them get together because it would only take one snap from the Bulldog, and its bye bye Dachshund. The Bulldog comes from a house with two cats, so I thought he would be ok with it, but I am really struggling with this. Almost to the point of giving the Bulldog back. Other that that one problem he is an awesome dog though, and I have always wanted one. Any advise here?

i guess i was lucky. i had my first dog for about a year and half before getting the second. my wife took timmy(yes he's named after the south park character) to the vet, and after noticed a rescue team set up near by at the local wal-mart. she took timmy over, and basically let him pick out a playmate. timmy and wally(yes his name is because we got him from outside wal-mart) have always gotten along for the most part, and only occasionally fight over rawhides and toys. they even share a crate during the time no one is home.

Well sh*t. I guess I will just keep working at it until it works or I give up. Yeah the Sausage dog is a real Psycho Bitch, and now with the big ass Bulldog around she is a Nervous Psycho Bitch. Not a good combo.

On another note, Biscuit who is the girl in you Avi?

some things that work when my dogs go at each other, or do anything i don't like. stern yelling, clapping with my hands cupped(another loud noise), and of course when those fail I spank them. spanking is definitely most effective, but the other two methods work well also.

Let them get to know each other in the yard.

Most likely the Bulldog won't bite the hot dog, but he may. The little one may bite the bully, but it really wont hurt him, unless he really tries to.

Have the water hose in your hand, and if they go at it spray them down, they will quit. Do this every day, and keep them separated at all times unless you are in the house with them.

If they are like most dogs, and prefer not to be wet, they will get the picture pretty quickly. Also, be a man, let the hot dog know that he is in your house, not you in his, that will also help.

Just a little update on the dog situation. They are doing much better. I have been taking them on walks together, and I got a shock collar for the Bulldog. Any time he charges the little one I would zap him. We had one incident last night, but we are making progress. The Wiener Dog is just such an instigator. She actually growls and snaps at the big dog.:confused:

    • This thread generated more than I expected.  Hmmm.  I like a good discussion, but you are all wrong unless you agree with me and I am right.  I recall when we had Cam nut huggers on here and that was fine because he was a Panther.  Now some are hugging on Sanders.  He is a talent, but my point was, he takes a beating. His daddy has been heavy in the portal, has some great athletes, but still can't get a dominant team on the field.  His son is sacked a LOT.  In the NFL, that makes for a short career.  Starter---blue tent---IR---uber driver.
    • He took a kill shot from an unblocked free rusher who might as well have announced he was coming. He looked like Bryce young out there: Bryce in the nfl I mean 
    • Uh oh somebody must be upset about that "Panthers don't know how to run a team post of yours" where I questioned curious to know how you know so much and are qualified perhaps? Projecting or not Deon is a walking talking issue currently and in my opinion as shown by many issues in Colorado the past couple seasons. Shedur will bust and will not be the star his dad was in my opinion also but until we see it all play out, both yours and my opinion is just that; an opinion.  He is a good QB in college no doubt but when he doesn't have dad at the next level I am curious to see how it goes. I was once around Deon however briefly during the COVID era. His eldest son was with a team I was involved with in a capacity for one shortened COVID season. No problem with his boy but his father I could tell was an issue. Without going into details, Deon is something else entirely. Perhaps not a completely bad human being but one that can get extremely toxic and thinks the world should immediately bow to him and do his every bidding because of his own past accomplishments in football. That could get very tough if the right franchise is not found with leadership that will tell him to know his role, sit down and shut up.  Adversity does not define everything true but adversity on a football field during a season is minor compared to life adversity I've seen some other players face first hand who came from nothing and are still dealing with issues currently as they make their way through college. Football field adversity does not compare to the real world off the field and out of the locker room adversity some face. You speak as if you may know something on the subject other than what people see on television and read on the internet. What locker rooms have you been involved in or witnessed the everyday play out during the season once the high school level is passed? I have to admit my experience seeing the everyday lives play out at the NFL level is limited to former players who have gone beyond Div. 1 and I only know what is told to me by them when they return to me in off seasons and breaks so I can't fully get an idea at that level. I have however seen a few days at the college level play out and I base my opinion from the very limited I have seen out of Deon in person and yes probably biased a bit after a few of those very limited interactions but it's my opinion determined by what I have seen over the years with my own eyes out of many situations and players rather than my arm chair GM opinion based upon what I read on the internet and the statistics I see on TV. As I said, we shall see once next season plays out but the Panthers are not equipped to handle what will come with Shedur Sanders I personally believe. A team like the Detroit Lions with a coach like Dan Campbell who is not afraid to tell someone to back off, sit down and shut the hell up I could only guess will be needed when Shedur is drafted and that personality will not be needed for Shedur but for daddy.
