From our for first introduction to when I felt like I could turn my back on them was six weeks. To where I felt safe leaving them both loose was about six months. Overwhelmingly pet owners throw new animals together way too quickly with little to no safety protocols, and not nearly enough training to stop any escalations instantly. A lot of pet owners get lucky and nothing bad happens, but a smart owner makes their own luck. #dogtraining #dog #cat #gsd #germanshepherd #mainecoon #playitsafe #muzzle #dogtrainingtips #newpet
