i could anyone help me please, we have 2 jrs both have been neutured and we are having a gsp bitch she is 2 and she is a rescue dog and has been spayed how do you introduce a new dog in to the pack . i would love to have your ideas on the best way to do this.

Is there a chance that you could get her scent into your house e.g. with rubbing a blanket over the new addition and take the blanket home? your other dogs will have a chance to get used to her scent. On the oick up day I would also suggest that all dogs are walked before they meet so that they are a little calmer and then meet the new dog on a neutral ground like a play field etc near your home. Then let them get to sniff each other and get used to each other. You may want to ask either a friend to help you out with this or maybe one of the kennel staff (sometimes it's more difficult when a direct family memeber introduces the new dog as your dogs might react a bit jealous...) could help you out. Then maybe take them on another walk together and lead them into your garden and let them play and sniff. And then introduce your new addition to your house.

I would not pick up the new dog and bring her into the house immediately. Neutral ground is better as then your dogs might not be as territorial as they might be when you bring her straight into your house.

Good luck and have fun :-)

Hi

The best way I know and I have fostered dogs and have brought re-homes in to our home (I currently have 6) is this.  Take your two dogs or the most lively/excitable/bumptious/dominant etc etc one of your existing dogs if you can't get someone else to help you wth both, and go out on a walk on neutral ground with the new addition.

Once they've had a walk together bring them back and if all has gone well on the walk let them mingle and mix out in the garden.  If there is still no sign of aggression or hostility let them off the lead one at a time until they are all off lead in the garden and let them play with supervision. 

Then just leave the back door open and let them drift in at will.  It has worked everytime for me.

I absolutely agree with the others, meeting on neutral ground is essential, then carry on home making out that everything is normal and matter of fact. At home comes the hardest job by appearing to ignore the dogs when actually you are watching body language like a hawk, but they have to accept and allow the new dog on their terms but you have to be fully aware of any change in attitude to nip anything in the bud. Note that they will pick up any tension from you and react so you must really stand back and pretend to leave them alone, but still supervise.
Good luck I am sure you will have a happy doggy family quite quickly, just think of all the extra enjoyment.
