Don’t Force It
Whether your new Shih Tzu and your other pets are acting aggressively or they’re just ignoring each other, it’s important that you don’t force them to interact. Your pets should always take the lead during introductions. You should only step in when there is aggressive behavior displayed. Allow them to feel each other out. This may include staring, sniffing, or walking up to the other pet. Again, you don’t want to force the interaction. As they show that they are becoming comfortable with each other, you can allow them to interact with each other while still monitoring closely.
