I just brought home a presa canario puppy, she was 9 weeks old when we got her and she's been with us for 2 weeks. We have a 5 year old maltese/shih tzu male and he seems terrified of her. I don't know if it's the size difference or if he's just upset about there being another dog in the house. We try to maintain the same behaviour with him as usual, hoping he feels as secure as possible. I'd really like some pointers on how to socialize these two. I want nothing more than to have them get along, but she is clearly the more dominant and this only makes it more difficult for them to be friendly.
I would appreciate any help!
