My dog barks at our new blind dog inside our home. How can I help?

Question

Hello, today my family has adopted a blind dog who is week, we also have another dog who is completely healthy. However, in order to introduce them we made our current dog meet the new one on the neighborhood walking and everything was fine, my old dog acted as a sort of guiding dog. On the other hand, once we get inside the home my dogs barks at the new dog constantly. Therefore. We wanted to know what we could do to make our current dog more sympathetic to our new home just like she does out. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Outside is neutral territory; inside is your previous dog's territory. There isn't much other than allowing him time to get used to having a new roommate. Try to keep things as normal as possible. Continue the walks outside so they can bond. You can also use Adaptil diffusers or DAP collars to provide calming pheromones.
