Find a Spot for Introductions
You want to first introduce your dog to your new Klee Kai puppy from a distance, preferably outdoors. This is a great first step for the dogs to be on neutral territory without getting too up-close. You will also want to ensure the outdoor space is fully fenced with no distractions around.
Pay Attention to Body Language
With both dogs on leashes, you can now monitor how they interact with each other for the first time. If the interaction seems positive and the dogs are wagging their tails, this is a great sign! Moreover, if one dog seems nervous and tenses up, you might need to ease into the process a bit more.
Monitor in the Home
It will be a good idea to closely monitor how the dogs behave inside the house since they will not be off-leash. If it seems like they need a break from each other, make a point to separate them for a while.. Nonetheless, keep them separated when you are not home. You want to make sure you are fully comfortable with how they interact before they are left together alone.
Keep Toys Separated
One of your dogs might feel the need to protect their toys from the other. This can cause unnecessary aggression that would be better left avoided between the two. Keep toys separated whenever possible.
Our Alaskan Klee Kai puppies are extremely friendly, well-trained, and in great health. When the time comes for your new Klee Kai puppy to meet your other dog(s) it is important to take the proper steps for a positive introduction.
