OR...... the 'Go for broke' method -
-sterilise your carrier
-shove both buns in the carrier together (so they are quite worried and unsettled)
-put the carrier in the car
-go for a drive of around an hour if possibe
-alternatively move the carrier by walking it around, keep them unsettled for as long as you can.
-bring them back and put them in a small area together (the smaller the better) the bath is good
- leave water and hay in there and watch.
- chasing, nipping, humping is normal. fur pulling is normal. looks scary put is necessary for them to realise who is boss. DO NOT TOUCH THEM unless they lock together in a kicking fight. If you intervene they get more stressed and it will take longer.
- when they settle in the small space, give them a slightly bigger space with no hidey holes or territories (like the rest of the bathroom)
- scatter food on the floor not in bowls.
- expect bonding to take several days.
- DON'T PANIC!
:wave:
This is the method I used a couple of weeks ago with my Frenchie and my Flemish. Within 3 days they were in luurrrrve!
Phase 1 bonding - 6x2 pen
Phase 2 bonding - front room 48 hrs later
