HELP!!!The Right way to introduce new female puppy to male dog.?
i have a 2 year old male pitbull. the people down the street happen to be walking a 4 month old female pitbull puppy one day and she immediately came to our gate as they were walking, They're dog and my dog were tryed everything to get to each other so they can play. soon after they tell me they cant keep her and they are selling her for 50 dollars and have to get rid of her fast. So today i bought her and brung her to the gate..let her in , and let them sniff each other and finally she submited to him. theyve been playing every since. the only problem is i had to bring her in the house to eat and keep him outside because as soon as she saw him eating "he" came to the screen door and growled.
what are the correct steps i take in feeding them and making sure they get along fine. and also hes leash trained and knows commands and she doesnt yet. how do i train her with him around, if possible.
thank you!?

the one way to feed them without the attacking is to feed them at the same time and keep one outside preferrably the female because it is his house afterall. then slowly and very cautiously, over a period of a week introduce her to eating with him, but be prepared there may be attacking. what else u can do is buy a muzzle for him and let them both in the same area while they eat. then gradually take the muzzle off and when he starts showing aggressiveness,show him who the boss is and put the muzzle back on him. the best way to get his attention while he is beaing aggressive is by putting an object like a broom handle down to his food bowl to show him that it is ok to eat while something is also eatin around him. u can also put the bowls far apart to let them have their privacy when they eat. Pitbulls are very unpredictable dogs so be on alert. As far as training them together it is a very good thing she can learn alot from him u just have to think positive. and when walking them together put one on one side and the other on the other side, then slowly introduce them to one side. as long as u think positive u should have no problems.
