Im having home check done next week, then im going to see Bobbin the little Staffy im taking Tess with me, i have posted a pic of him but i really want everything to go well as this little boy is gurting himself in kennles and really needs a loving home.

What would you suggest i do when i take tess there to meet him cos i dont wnat things to go wrong is there anything at all i can do to try make them get on any tips you would do to itroduce her to him, i could be totally wrong and she could be great with him but i really want him and he really needs us to give him a loving home.

Thanks guys

try introducing them on leads first then if anything goes wrong theres 2 people ad you can separate them easily

Yes they will both be on leads but i just dont want anything to go wrong and when i introduce her to dog usally i dont tense up cos that makes it worse but im reall frightend of tensing up cos i no i want things to go right it might be me who makes things worse cos i need her to be ok and im going to be on edge.

Take loads of treats and give loads of praise to both of them when they are being good

its a shame they havent got a place u can put them opposite sides of a fence/big cage oflead...just to see how they would react together wivout the leads...and away they cant get at eachoher...

maybe they have??? and u could try that....then if alls ok, then see wat they are like face to face on lead...and go from ther...that way u will ave an idea of their onlead offlead reactions at eachother.

Its always good when two dogs are meeting for the first time, to do so on neutral territory.

If you are re homing him, you should be supervised by the staff. They should be there to offer advice and oversee the introduction.

Best of luck
