Super! Fingers crossed that it will work out for you.
I have read opinions from dog trainers that it is okay to let the dogs figure out by themselves who will dominate. I don't know if I could do it!
Our dog, who is usually rather submissive, will not let another dog jump up on his back. He puts up with just about everything but that. He's always been able to work it out with another dog amicably. Other times another dog will dominate him. I try not to interfere unless it's going to get too physical.
But you know your dog best. Good luck with the new member of your family.
