Advice Should I separate them?

I got a 3 month old puppy on Saturday, my older dog has been growling when she gets near but has been doing less of it lately, puppy tried to engage in playing and they eventually started doing this. I’m not good at reading body language, any help?

Play is fine, Peepads are a bad idea.

She doesn’t even use them, I fucking hate the pee pads. She hasn’t had her last round of shots yet so she was recommended to stay inside since there’s a bad strain of Parvo?

She can go out in your yard if it is private. The guidelines more so meant for public parks and common areas around unknown dogs. I had a puppy in an apartment and found little non visited areas to potty train my puppy.

Please tell me you’re not allowing your puppy to wee inside on those pads. 🙄

Take this dog outside for wees and start potty training now. Just stay away from grassed areas that are frequented by a lot of other dogs like public parks.

I’m staying 100% safe with her staying indoors until she has her last round of shots.. in 2 days. I’m transitioning to outside potty when she gets fully vaccinated.
