Both of these will help you out. You need to be very careful and make sure you have a nice relaxed atmophere. Try to find a neutral place to introduce them, your home for example would be a bad idea.
If you do it right they are likely to end up best friends.
Introduce the puppy to the dog first by bringing them both outside the house so the dog doesn’t get protective of her home. Hold the puppy first, and bend down so the dog can sniff her. If the dog’s reaction isn’t aggressive at first, slowly let the puppy on the ground. Let them smell eachother. At any sign of anger or aggression from the dog, pick the puppy back up. They will get used to eachother! Good luck!!!
let the dog smell something with the puppies scent on it, than let the dog see the puppy from a far distance than gradually let the puppy come closer
put the semi aggressive dog on a leash and introduce her to the puppy and have them sniff each other. make sure your at a safe distance from the puppy. the key is to introduce the dog in a slow, calm way. this means that there should be no distractions around.
First and very important. Do Not leave the two dogs alone together. Next, the Jack’s semi-aggressive nature should be remedied before trying to introduce a puppy, or a child, etc. If your neighbor wants to dog-watch for you, then please either ask them to keep the puppy in a confined, safe area. Or provide your neighbor with a roomy kennel to keep the pup safe. Please, please don’t think that a semi-aggressive dog will suddenly become friendly. It won’t. Time and patience and training is the answer to it’s issues.
