Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Tilly, the newcomer, had a termination injection two and a half weeks ago.
It is most unlikely that she would become pregnant because our dog, Pepé, has absolutely no interest at all. The vet intends to spay Tilly within the next month and we are obviously keeping an eye on things until that time.
I will try making Pepé Top Dog after reading your advice. I have been reading on various sites on the internet that you should let the dogs decide their own ranking and then go along with their decision.
How long would you expect it to take before we see an improvement in Tilly's behaviour? Do you think they will actually start to play together and enjoy each other's company or do you think this would have happened by now?
Thank you again for your reply - I am so keen to make things work as we have promised the other family a decision within 3 weeks now (we are currently in Portugal but work in France in the winter) and I really want this to work out within our own family.
