So I have a very sweet, but very high energy 1 year old black german shepherd . She is my greatest joy! Anyway, I am going to be getting a Yorkie Poo on the 21st of december for Christmas and I'm so excited, but I'm also scared.
Gypsy (My GSD) likes to play and jump around with out a care in the world and I'm afraid she'd jump on the puppy or fall on her. Shes 62 lbs of pure puppy love. I have seen her with a small puppy before and they did play alright, but after a while she got to be too much for the poor thing and it hid from her. She always wants to play and I don't know how to train her to know when to stop. I exercise her daily and we play fetch a lot as well but she is always ready to play. How do I let her know to leave the puppy alone after a while and not overwhelm him?
Also, I've never had a small dog before (He should only get to be 6lbs) and I want to be able to bring him everywhere with me, is there anything I can do other than hold him as much as possible to get him used to being held and carried and staying put? I've tried to look online but couldn't find anything. I'm asking because I am planning on bringing him to work with me and I will have a bed for him, but I would also like him on my lap.
