since puppy was taken from its littermates
since puppy was taken from its littermates and mother too early - it has missed out on very important socializing -- so when your adult dogs tries to let it know it doesn;t want to play - the pup doesn't understand ( because it was removed from its mom etc. too early) just monitor them and make sure the pup isn't pestering the adult too much... they will grow to be good friends i am sure
How do you introduce a puppy to your other dog?

I've been going through this myself...I have a 12 1/2 year old lab and just introduced a 8 week (Now 11 week) old Australian Shepherd.
All I can say is give it time. If they're getting along outside, that's a good sign. Make sure they're always supervised when they're together and if the older dog shows aggression, tell him no.
Also, make sure the older dog is getting "Special" attention apart from the puppy. Give it a special treat, or take it for a nice long walk without the puppy in tow.
It's been almost 4 weeks since I brought the little one home and my 2 are getting along fine now.

How can I get my puppy to not attack other dogs when I pet them?
How can I get my puppy to not attack other dogs when I pet them?
My 10 week old boxer puppy will attack any other puppy or dog that I pet. He is already a big puppy and I can't control him very easily. He is not entirely unteachable though, I did teach him to sit very easily. I don't want him to hurt me or any other dogs! Help!My stepmom has a Schnauzer (hope I spelled that right) with the same problemyour 10 week old puppy has already learned that he's in control, now your challenge is to take over the control. no dog is unteachable, and if you don't correct this now he will end up hurting another dog or person. why would you think he will hurt you???
so，Your pup's problem is that he is territorial... of you. He thinks U belong 2 him & he's not willing 2 share ur attention with another dog. You have to show that U r the "alpha" dog & tell him firmly, "NO." when he exhibits this behavior. Be firm and consistent. Eventually he'll get the message that no one's going to take U from him & that it is not acceptible to attack other dogs when U show them attention. Be sure & pet him after petting the other dog (when he stops the behavior) so he knows he's still loved. Hope this helps!
