New addition

[scottmoore_sc]

I have two DS's. A male that is 4 and a female that is 1.5. They are very obedient and near perfect dogs. Extremely affectionate but naturally quite protective of our house and family. Recently I added a third k9 member out of necessity. My father's health has brought him to the point where he is struggling to properly take care of their beloved chocolate lab (4 years old.) We have a large fenced yard so I took him in. The three are getting along "okay." Feeding time is pretty rough. It seems like they get along fine but then have tense moments and will have a 3-4 second "fight" and then they go back on their way. It's only been a few days and I know it will take time but I'd really like to make this work. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can you give us more details of the issues at feeding time, and also what is happening with the "fights"?

Here is a great article on pack integrations. I would highly suggestion separation during feeding. If you have crates, use them for feeding time.
