How can I get my dogs to get along better?
don 'fight or something like t. My pi? old dog (2 years Boston Terrierr 1 / 2) leaves my new puppy (the Jack Russell Terrier 2 months) basically it dominates. Nips him chew on his toys and him everywhere the house and our yard. I guess because calculated? ? the pi? old dog, was in the house and in the first place? male, he would be the dominant dog. But, is dominating. My male dog? reasonably passive and not scorteccer? you, or nip / mordala. I am unsure if I do something or just leave the "dogs are dogs" and let run out. I guess that my male dog, seeing as how we have achieved in the first place, should be the dominant dog. But maybe not.

the best way is to have them spend more time together.
dog whisper
hes being patient to your new puppy. just give it time
Maybe its a case of the older dog being patient with the pup as he knows he is only young and will calm down? I’ve seen older dogs be incredibly patient with pups before now.
If they continue to fight, plan an intervention. Maybe try arbitration.
every time they do something wrong, tsst them on their neck like Cesar Milan from the dog whisperer, or hit them with a newspaper. Or just hire Cesar
he has proper manners… my male golden ( the oldest ) takes tons of crap from my 2m females aussies….. he is a good boy.. however,, when they do go to far ( not often) he lets them know it. older doesn’t necessarily mean more dominant as neither does being male… i see many more dominant bitches than i do dominant males

Have them spend time together but keep an eye on them so they stat out of trouble.
With dogs, as with people or other social animals, there will almost always be an alpha male, who dominates the others, or a wise old female, as with the elephants, who leads the herd.
Get your dogs together, pet each one of them, praise each one, but start with the weakest, the one whom the others dominate. Let the alpha male know you don’t award merit according to brute force or aggressivity. Talk to your dogs. They do listen and understand much more than most people give them credit for. Maybe they don’t understand the way; we do understand (or fail to) each other, but dogs figure out voice tone, timbre, pitch, and other qualities of the human and other animals voices.
Listen to “Calling All Pets” which is broadcast on NPR. You can google for the site.
Let them work it out. But if you are afraid your Bostie is feeling neglected or pushed around spend some one on one time with him without your puppy.
Most likely he is being extremely patient with your JR. They will be fine in a few weeks and soon will be best friends.
