Gradual introduction:

As a new puppy owner, you may be thrilled to see your furry little companions romping and playing together. Still, it’s important to remember that they must get used to each other’s presence before letting them interact too closely.

A gradual introduction is crucial for helping the puppies establish a positive relationship with each other. Start by allowing them to sniff and get a sense of each other’s smells and sounds before letting them play. This will help them feel more comfortable with each other and reduce the risk of accidental fights or injuries.
