Скачать или смотреть Our Older Dog Came in Too Hot… So We Reset the First Meeting (Akita Puppy)

Bringing home an Akita puppy is exciting… until the first 60 seconds with your older dog goes sideways.

In this first episode of Raising Akita Makoto, we bring 12 week-old Makoto home from Paradise Akitas and share the very first meeting with our 10-year-old Golden x Lab, Sadie. The initial introduction gets too intense fast. You’ll see what happened, how we interrupted + reset the situation, and how we ultimately got them calm enough to end on a win (yes—the same day).

If you’re a first-time Akita owner (or introducing any puppy to an older dog), this is the real-life version—no highlight reel, no fake “everything went perfect” edit.

In this video
• Older dog meets Akita puppy: what went wrong in the first minute
• How we reset the introduction and try again calmer
• Real body language in winter: excitement vs. overwhelm
• Breeder pickup + first-night decompression on the road
• The first-day goal: safe, calm, and repeatable (not “best friends instantly”)
