When you had a pup for some time and then you fall in love all over again and decide to bring home a new one; there can be some quarreling. Especially if your existing king or queen has been pampered for the time that he or she has been alone with you; naturally, a well bred pup will be patient and might even welcome the new comer, AH! But the new comer will most likely do his or her best to turn you around and become the NEW king or queen of the household. You might not even notice that you are falling right to the game until, one day, you see the sad eyes of your beloved as you play with the new pup.
Gasp! Surely, you will feel like a heel. But instead of shrugging your shoulders or feeling miserable, you will do a lot better if you correct the situation. How? Give each pup their own time with you, give the older pup special “privileges” that the other will not have. It will always depend on the relationship between you and your dogs, but a choice is to give the older one first dibs on the dog treats, a bigger meatier bone than the new dog, and so on.
