Advice/Tips for adding another dog to the family?

In a week were going to be adding a puppy male black lab to the family. We currently have a male rottweiler. He is a good dog but I'm a little concerned about adding another male dog. Any advice how we can make a safe transition for the new pup?Advice/Tips for adding another dog to the family?
Resident dogs don't always relish sharing their territory and human family with some upstart new pup. To make sure peace and order prevails, take some care in introducing your new dog or puppy.

Spend a lot of time with him when he first comes. keep him away from the rottweiler for a few days, maybe keep one inside or locked in a fence or something like that. then every now and again bring the dogs together (with something blocking them from hurting one another, like the fence) and hopefully that might work after a few days or weeks. don't rush it. eventually they will like one another. but before then, don't leave them together without something barring them from one another. it's kind of different, but that's what i did with my birds and now they're best friends (and they're two males). so thy that and see if it works.
You don't say how old your Rottweiler is. Rottweilers are usually very good with puppies.


If there is less than 5 years between these dogs you would be better with a male and female mix than two dogs of the same gender who are close in age.


There is less chance of any fighting happening between a male and female.
This is good for safety, but maintenance is heavy. if you need, you are eligable to maintain then keep.
