Our husky, Blaise, is about a year and a half. She has always loved going to dog parks and playing with other dogs. She is VERY playful but never mean. She IS physical though.

We thought we would get another dog in hopes that they would play together. So we brought home a little lab mix, Bella. We just got her yesterday and she's about 4 months old.

I know everything is brand new, but Bella doesn't seem to like Blaise. In Bella's foster home, there were other big dogs, but they were older and more calm. Bella got along really well with them.

Again, Blaise doesn't hurt Bella... she actually barely touches her. She just jumps around, like she's trying to taunt her into playing along. Bella just snaps at her or tries to run away.

A friend brought over their bigger and older dog this evening and Bella loved her. The older dog just not really reacting.

Any advice to help them become friends? Thanks!

it could be bella's size and well puppies are whole other creature, still learning how to interact with other dogs. it will also take time to settle in at your house. she is young and was in a foster home with a hole other family, now she is in something new.

husky play with a 1.5yr old is very active and blaise does not have another husky to play with she has a lab.... not saying its an issue but very different breeds and play styles. really only time will tell if they will get alone.
try walking them together and play with them both at the same time to work on their bond together and with you as the head of the pack.

Thank you!
They really do do better on walks. It's great. We will keep that up for sure!
