counter- conditioning behavior training This type of behavior training is for the owner who is a good communicator with his pet, understands his emotional state and how to intervene promptly and consistently when it's needed to often almost instantaneously modify the bad behavior.
http://www.metroanimal.org/adoption/dog_meets_dog.html We don't agree on neutering or spaying the puppy before bringing into the new household as this web site suggests because it's too early and not physiologically sound in terms of incontinence and urinary tract development. But other information given here, that is, that the dog world is hierarchical-- (one has to be dominant and the other has to be a follower and when there are two dominant ones, they will fight to kill), is an important consideration when considering the addition of a second dog. The personalities need to mesh.
VETERINARY INFORMATION:This does NOT replace the veterinarian's consultation. The information is made available so that owners can narrow down the possibilities and ask their own vets informed questions about their pets' symptoms.
