Here's the thing. Most adult dogs will give puppies a free pass. Now, the free pass

might go from eight weeks to six months. The free pass might go from eight weeks and one minute

to eight weeks and two minutes. Some dogs just have zero tolerance

for puppies. Buzz was one of those dogs. And it's not surprising based on his mother's reaction

with puppies. And so what I would do with Buzz is I would not let the puppies interact with him.

But two times over his lifetime, the puppy escaped and ran right

up to buzz and what he would do is he would pelt them, meaning he would give them an inhibited

bite on the nose. Always would leave a little mark on their nose that a day later turned

into a scab, pelting, an inhibited bite that

made it very clear to the puppy, I am not your BFF. You and I, we can cohabitate, but we will

never be playmates. And so I was protective of Buzz. I didn't want to put him in a position

where he had to do that. Once the puppies learn to read body language better, for most puppies,

it was five or six months old. They could be in the same room with Buzz. They could cohabitate

with him and everyone was fine. I never ever had a problem. I never

ever had a situation where I had to gate one dog for life against another dog because otherwise

there'd be this all-out battle. And we're going to avoid that by being protective of your adult

dog because of that adult dog keeps getting badgered by the puppy, then what that adult dog will

do is just snap. At one point, they're just going to go at that puppy. And it may not be inhibited.

So let's talk about how to help those puppies who are a little bit more exuberant,

who maybe haven't learned how to read the room and haven't got all of

those signals on how to take in, receive process, and understand what other dogs are saying to them.

So first off, you need to know how to introduce a puppy to an adult dog. And I wouldn't,
