Introducing A New Dog To Your Resident Dog

By Austin Wilson Bringing a new dog into the pack can be both an exciting and nerve wrecking period.

Reward the bunny when they play with the leash or the harness. 2. Place the harness or leash next to or on the rabbit until they either shake it off or leave it be. 3.
