Introducing New Rescue Dog

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I need recommendations on how to introduce a new dog to our old dogs. We have 2 older labs and in 2 weeks will be getting a new rescue. We have a male & a female lab, the female is top dog and the male is wary of scary new things but once he relaxes is fine. The new dog is 2 and from what I have been told is very laid back. He gets along with all other dogs very well which is the reason we picked him. My basic plan was to introduce new dog to the female outside and once they relax bring out our male dog. Looking for all kinds of advice - Thanks!

Your plan sounds great, but I've only ever had one dog at a time. My only thought is could you introduce them outside your home, ie not in the backyard, but in a neutral area?
Also, if you go to petfinder.com there are some videos about this.

good luck with your 3rd dog
