Re: HELP! Making friends with other dogs??
I would leave them to get on with it.
They must learn how to behave around each other. It is not like you have 2 dogs of different sizes i.e a GSD and a westie (for example) or you have 2 fighting breeds like staffs etc. Therefore I would not worry.
The youngest dog needs to learn respect around the older dog. Personally I think they will be good for each other. The only thing (and I speak from experience) that seperating them will achieve, is build tension and make it worse.
If you start experiencing fights or the behaviour gets worse, then you may need to consider a behaviourist.
One of the biggest triggers to fights, which we had was when humans were around. If they start then I would be tempted to leave them alone and leave the room. It is very, very rare that a dog will fight to extreme as one dog will usually submit.
If you want to speed up the bonding process then walk, walk and walk. By walking dogs together you are creating a pack. When you have this pack, the fights will stop.
Good luck and don;'t worry. You have beagles not pitt bulls!
