Bringing a rescue dog home is one of the most rewarding moments you can share with a dog, but when there’s already a resident dog in the house, the excitement can quickly get overshadowed by nerves. Will they get on? Will they clash? Will everything fall apart if that first meeting goes wrong?
Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, when introductions are handled with calm, controlled steps, you set both dogs up to succeed from the very beginning. That’s exactly what I explore in this week’s brand-new episode of Paws and Pawsitivity.
We chat about why face-to-face greetings can be overwhelming, why “letting them sort it out” is never the answer, and how to create a safe indoor and outdoor introduction plan that keeps both dogs relaxed and under threshold. I also explain how scent swapping and thoughtful environment prep can make your dogs feel more secure long before they even clap eyes on each other.
If you’re adding a rescue dog to your family or supporting someone who is, you won’t want to miss this episode. Pop it on your headphones, give it a listen, and share it with anyone who wants to make multi-dog living calmer, kinder, and safer for everyone involved.
