need some advice...as some of you know, I lost my Lab over Thanksgiving. I rescued a Yorkie Mix puppy 6 weeks ago & my older dog that I still have wants nothing to do with him which is understandable. The rescue contacted me about my new pup's sister still being in foster care and asked if I would take her too. I picked her up last night and brought her home - my first rescue being a male dog of course tried to assert his dominance, which she allowed at first, however, today she seems to be just as assertive back. I figured being siblings they would get along. The do play alot and sleep on my lap together but they do have a few "fights", teeth showing, growling, etc. I have starting intervening, yelling loudly to settle down and putting the boy in a crate for a few minutes, somewhat of a puppy time out and that seems to help for a while. Is there something I should or should not be doing? My vet said this will subside in a few days but I just don't want either one getting hurt. They were only separated for 6 weeks. They are 14 weeks old and per my vet, will not get Spayed/Neutered for one more month. Since I'm not familiar with Yorkies, I don't know if this behavior is breed related or just their normal behavior. It's been 8 yrs since I've had puppies in the house...

You should see Whipper passed out beside me on the couch lol
Remember this...
I think you're probably doing it right. Let them work it out, step in when they start getting too carried away.

They are establishing their pack. Unless it gets violent you should let them work it out.
