| Yes, I would crate her when you are not there. She is a newcomer remember and you don't know her all that well nor have the dogs worked out their relationships yet. The not interfer doesn't mean that you allow a free for all. It means that the natural leader will become evident and it is not static either. Status is fluid. However............ don't give them reasons for fighting to find out who is on top. (toys, bones) At this point, she is still a guest in the home and should behave as one. Guests don't walk in and start beating up and threatening the hosts. The home dogs shouldn't have to take a bunch of crap just for walking across the room. Good manners apply whether at home or abroad. |
