When we are talking about how to welcome a second dog, we are actually saying how to let our first dog accept the fact that he/she is no longer the only baby in the house. Dogs are animals and they do not just naturally accept a new comer in their territory. There are several tips and fact that all dog families should be concerned about.
The first prerequisite: before you bring the puppy to your home when you are ready to raise a second puppy, you should know whether the conditions and environment in your house are suitable for him/her because two puppies need a large family space to adapt in separately at the very beginning, if there are plenty space in your house, you can divide the area for them before the second puppy arrive, so that many unnecessary risks will be avoided in the early stage, and it also will be better if the open area is large enough, because the dogs can be very naughty.

The second step: it is best to put two dogs in different rooms. This step is very important, which can make the new puppy adapt to its own environment and familiarize itself with the facilities and smells in its own territory. Moreover, the original dog of the family must not come in this room, because the dog's nose is very sensitive, once there is any other smell, it will cause their reactions to stress and fear, resulting in a longer time to adapt to the new environment for the new puppy.
After a period of adaptation, we began to take the first small step, which is also very important. When they first entered each other's room, both sides would feel a lot of curiosity and incomprehension. Since the dog's nose is sensitive, there must be some maladjustment when we first met, but don't worry, they will soon be comfortable with each other in terms of smell and appearance after sniffing for a short period of time.
The third important step is: to maintain the relationship between the original dog and the new arrival puppy, then we all know that the two dogs have been going along fine when they are in the same space and they have gradually accepted each other's existence after a period of time at home, and then there will be some fights when eating together at home, which is perfectly normal, but at this time, we should pay attention to them as well, stop them in a minute when the fight is going serious.
The fourth step: prepare a place for each puppy to hide for shelter when they have big fights or under fear and pressure, if two pets have big conflicts for some reason such as food, both sides can go back to their own hiding space to heal and calm themselves. There is another factor that should be noticed is that within one week after two dogs being together, the owner must do a really good job of supervision, since the puppies, after all, have just started to make contacts with each other and they don't know whether their personalities can get along or not.
Therefore, owners should pay enough attention under this stage. Dogs are cheerful and warm, and they are the most loyal friends of mankind. Keeping dogs can not only relieve anxiety, but also accompany you silently. Dogs bring a lot of joy to our lives.

For some cheerful and outgoing dogs, the arrival of new friends is a great pleasure, and they are excited about it. Maybe they get along very happily and play with each other a lot, but that doesn't mean you can be relaxed and let them go completely. Even if your original dog is very friendly to the new dog, it is possible that the two puppies will get injured because the might get over-excited, or it will see the new kid as its own living toy. This requires you to create a process for them to get along with each other slowly. At first, put the new puppy in a cage or a fence, so that it can get to know each other and have no direct contact with the original dog at home. When they are familiar with each other and no longer have much novelty, that is the time they can play together. Of course, at this moment, we must take strict care of them, once there is excessive excitement, we will re-isolate them, cool down their enthusiasm and repeat this process for several times
