The first and most important step is to set up your environment so that it is impossible for your dogs to attack one another or any other dogs. Start by establishing separate areas of the house for each dog using Dog Gates, Dog Crates or other equipment to keep them apart.
Will two dogs eventually get along?
Just as you know. Dogs won't become friends instantly. It usually take several months for two newly acquainted dogs to be comfortable with each other. Supervision is absolutely necessary because a fight might occur if these dogs are left alone.
How do you get two dogs to get along when one is aggressive?
Try playing with both dogs together, alternating toys, to see if the aggressive dog allows you to play with the passive dog. If not, firmly (but remaining in control of your emotions) correct him with verbal commands. You can also try separating the dogs in your home using barriers, such as gates or boxes.
What do you do when your dog doesn't get along with other dogs?
Help them get along, even if they get off to the wrong start at first. Dogs are like people in that they may not like a new friend right away. "It can take weeks or months for dogs to get used to new animals, and it'll be important to give the dogs breaks from each other," explains Mahaley.
