Introducing a second dog into the home

Recently, word came out of Washington that the Obamas had brought a new dog into the White House, a 1-year old pup named Sunny. While the Obamas are no doubt excited about the new addition, there was no word about how Bo, the sole White House canine for the past four years, has reacted to his new companion. Hopefully the two Portuguese water dogs are getting along swimmingly, but bringing a new dog into a home with an established dog can pose some challenges and require some adjustments. In this podcast, Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and past president of the AVMA, shares tips on bringing a second dog into the home.
