How do I ease the stress for an newly adopted mature dog?
We have recently adopted a 7 year old dog. She had lived with the breeder as a mother dog since birth and we adopted her when she retired from being a mama. We already have a 4 year old dog of the same breed (who happens to be her brother from another mother :) ) She is a very sweet and gentle dog. She has been very clingy to me since she arrived with us and a bit timid with the other family members. She follows me everywhere! She has been eliminating indoors when we are home, but she sneaks off to another room to do it. I am thinking she is feeling stressed from her move to our family. Any suggestions of training exercises or things I can do to help her with this transition?
