I think you might be onto something with the depression and/or anxiety thought. That’s my guess too from your description. It’s hard to tell, but I think I would start with a trip to the vet just to make sure nothing unusual is going on with Je’sus. Then I’d start slowly with some desensitization techniques, slowly getting him warmed up to the idea of interacting with Payne. That’s most likely how I’d start with this issue. Good luck to you Sharon! So sorry for the loss of your other dog in September.

We got a set of male Doberman litter mates 9 yrs ago. One of them passed away last September. The other Doberman (Je’sus) then had the house to himself. Last week we picked up our new 10-month old male Doberman puppy (Payne). Payne is the same size as Je’sus and very friendly; however, our 9-yr old Je’sus doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Je’sus started drooling at times (which he never drools). His pupils get huge when Payne is in the same “space”. Je’sus won’t engage in his normal play activities with Payne in the house (depression/anxiety?).

We shower Je’sus with attention, but I don’t think that’s enough. Any ideas?
