Hello everyone, My family just adopted a sweet almost 1 year old BC female, and in our home already we own a very lovable wrinkly Bloodhound female who is 5. They are learning how to play together and so far seem to enjoy it, though Bitsy (what we call her for now, since she is so tiny) is a little timid because she hasn't been around many dogs, but is warming up alot. Our BH is a great family dog and stays indoors, but she is known to have a VERY big stubborn streak and can be destructive if we aren't careful. My concern is, will my BC girl pick up on her behaviors, or is it possible that my training and consistant work with her is enough to override the influence of her new sister? I plan to work with her individually she will mainly be "my" dog (she's already attached to me at the hip), and in general she is already the more eager to please and trainable one out of the two. So, what can we do to make it work out, any suggestions? Thank you all!
EDIT: I guess while I am at it, I may as well ask for advice on the whole introduction to the home thing. I am new to having two dogs. Our BH is housetrained so she gets some house access. I was told my BC was crate trained, but she took off and hid when I brought the crate out. So for now, while at work, she is in our tiled bathroom with all her things. I was told she was housebroke, but she's had 2 accidents... at 11mths old, maybe she is just adjusting, or should I treat it as though she's not housetrained yet?
