I just adopted a two year old dog. She is a sweety. Any advice on training her and helping her adjust?
I have never got an adult dog before. Always a puppy. I have heard she might be harder to train. I already have one dog. She is in training her self but doing well. I have tought her to sit, shake, lay down, come, roll over, no, and we are working on stay. I got her as a puppy though. I crate my dogs at bed time. The new girl is barking some tonight. She is already been takeing out to potty. Should i ignore her? Any way i already love my new girl and am gonna figure it all out just wanting some adveice if any one has adopted an adult dog before. Thanks!

I've adopted an adult dog before. He was pretty hard to train himself. The best advice I have for you is to let your other dog train your new one. Do this by training them at the same time, when the trained one does the trick (over)praise her, then ask the new dog to do it. If she even gets close to doing it right, praise her as well. She'll start to understand what you want. It's a bit harder to train older dogs, but having a trained dog to show her how will help her a lot.
Remember, all new dogs will cry for a couple of nights, they'll get over it. Good luck, you will do alright.
