My male dog is trying to mate with my new puppy. How to stop it?

Question

I got a new female puppy. My 5 year old male dog is acting crazy and wants to mate with her. I can’t control him. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years old | 4 lbs

if Prince is not neutered, this may be the reason behind the behavior. Neutering Prince will help but the behavior will not change over night. Here is a link about introducing dogs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-introduce-a-puppy-or-dog-to-your-older-dog/ Make sure to monitor all interactions to prevent injury. Keeping Prince on a leash will help you to provide better control. Making sure both pets are well exercised prior to the meeting can help as well. Do not leave the pets together unsupervised. Best of luck.
