I think i might have the anwer. my two dogs used to do this, too, when we got our first beagle puppy. maybe your older male dachsund is jealous like you said, or he feels the puppy cannot protect himself, wich means the older dachshund might be protecting your new puppy. try taking the new puppy in a room to play with someone else while you get the lab and your older dachshund to play together, and hopefully your older dachshund will soften up. If possible, take all 3 dogs on walks together regularly. My dogs do the same thing and taking them for a walk all together creates the "pack" atmosphere with them and will show that they are a family.As the puppy grows the behavior should return to normal as well. |
