Then do a supervised visit with all 3. They should be fine. I would take each big dog out separately and introduce them to the puppy. Then do a supervised visit with all 3. They should be fine.

The FIRST thing you should do is WALK YOUR DOGS!! The bigger dogs should be walked for about an hour and TIRED! then, put them on a leash, and DO NOT BE NERVOUS! If you are nervous and fearful, your dog will perceive the puppy as a threat and will attack. Just relax, and if you can't handle the larger dogs, then have someone else with you who also will show calm energy but still be in charge. Dogs greet each other by sniffing, first the butt, then the ears, then the eyes. ITs their way of telling who is who. They don't have names, they uses scents to distinguish one another. Let them greet each other in this manner and if the older dog shows any form of aggression, simply make a correction by tugging on the leash. Also, VERY IMPORTANT.. be sure your body language is one of being in control and not of being fearful. Do not stand rigid, bent over and hold the leash tight as if to jump at a the first sign of trouble. Your dog will feel the tension and be alerted to danger. Instead, turn your body so that the puppy is beside you, not head on as if to say, this is not a problem we are not enemies and ther is no need to be alarmed! for more information, there are excellent videos you can find at You can also find them at Amazon.com and search for Cesar Milan or follow this link Good luck!! and Congratulations on your new puppy!!

That way they know she belongs at your home. I work at a kennel and one of the owners has a Chihuahua and a German Shepherd toghter in the same kennel. I believe that the bigger dogs know how to handle being around smaller dogs. But if you feel afraid for the little Yorkie ask you Vet for some advise. Of course we on the yahoo answers can only give you answer about what we think. Good luck to you. You should let the dogs she her more often. That way they know she belongs at your home.

However it's not always easier. Chain the bigger dog up so he can't jump or run after the pup. This way u can bring the bigger one to the end of his/her leash and let them start slow like that.
