At first, Kobe the Golden Retriever wanted nothing to do with the new puppy in the house, but over time their relationship slowly changed into something much sweeter. Moi was an energetic little Doberman who followed him everywhere, kissed his face, copied the family, and kept trying to snuggle up as if she already belonged.

Kobe was an only dog for four years, so having a relentless puppy around was a big adjustment. He growled, showed his teeth, and kept his distance while the family made sure he still got plenty of attention and space, especially around food and during walks. Little by little, though, Kobe began to relax, play, roll onto his back, and accept Moi as part of the pack.

This heartwarming dog bonding story captures the real ups and downs of introducing a puppy to an older dog, with funny moments, boundary-setting, and a very rewarding payoff.

Perfect for viewers searching for dog bonding videos, Golden Retriever and Doberman puppy stories, cute puppy and older dog interactions, and wholesome pet family content. If you enjoy animal companionship, puppy socialization, and feel-good dog videos, this gradual friendship is a lovely watch.

00:00When we first got Moki, Kobe wasn't entirely sure on her.
00:03He was an only dog for four years and well, he just found her a bit annoying.
00:11Moki was like that annoying younger sister that just didn't want to leave him alone.
00:15She was cute though, but I'm not sure Kobe agreed.
00:27What didn't help either, Moki was relentless in trying to bond with Kobe, even kissing his face.
00:34There were times that Kobe would try like Moki, I think.
00:38Let's be honest, he was just letting her know who's the boss.
00:44He would grab her by the neck with his mouth.
00:46It may look vicious, but it's just a dominance thing.
00:49He was letting her know from early, this is my house.
01:00Moki even started copying us, maybe thinking it would help bond with Kobe.
01:08Moki wasn't a quitter though, she would constantly try and snuggle up with her older brother.
01:17Kobe just found her so annoying, he was not having a good time.
01:23She looked up to him so much, bless her, literally watching every little thing he would do.
01:28Not to mention, at one point, even going to see if Kobe had any milk.
01:36Okay, so Moki was clearly obsessed with Kobe, but what did Kobe really think of this new puppy being in
01:42his home?
01:44Time and time again, anytime she would get too close to him, he was gone.
01:52This was the very first time I thought Kobe was going to let Moki snuggle up to him.
01:56The way her lies came out, oh you just knew Kobe was not enjoying that.
02:00She was getting a little too comfy.
02:02Kobe's face says it all, oh hell nah, and of course got straight up.
02:10He would show his teeth at her, just to let her know, but Moki being Moki, of course, would push
02:16her now.
02:25Moki was only 8 weeks old, so she was used to snuggling up with all her other littermates and her
02:30mum and dad.
02:30She couldn't understand why Kobe wouldn't cuddle up with her.
02:35Kobe didn't want to know.
02:37We would let him tell her off, she needed to learn Kobe's boundaries, and the best way to do that,
02:43let Kobe tell her.
02:46You've got to give it to Moki, she really said, I'm here to stay, so you've got to learn to
02:51love me.
02:52But Kobe definitely was not feeling the love, at all.
02:58Kobe's face says it all, he didn't want anything to do with her.
03:04There was nothing actually in Kobe's bowl here, but we wanted him to teach her that it wasn't
03:08okay to go up to another dog's food like that.
03:11He was not a happy boy.
03:13What are you growling at?
03:15We made sure to pay lots of attention to Kobe, we didn't want him to feel like he was getting
03:19replaced.
03:21Moki didn't like this idea too much, but it was good for her to know that she can't
03:25get attention whenever she wanted.
03:29Kobe would just about put up with her if we were around, but honestly,
03:33he was struggling to get to terms with another dog being in the house.
03:36You know, Kobe, keep going.
03:44Don't do that Moki.
03:45Yeah, you see that?
03:51Oh yeah, we gave Kobe all the loving he deserves for putting up with the mini monster.
03:56Hello, Kobe.
03:59Hello, hello.
04:01Hello.
04:02Oh, Kobe's a mummy's bowl.
04:05Hello.
04:06Whoa.
04:08Mwah.
04:09Got it.
04:10Hello, Kobe.
04:21We gave Kobe all the fuss and attention.
04:24He was loving it.
04:25Moki didn't understand why she wasn't involved.
04:27Dopamines easily get separation anxiety.
04:30So we would try and make sure she realized that she wasn't always the center of attention.
04:34Did you see Moki barking for attention?
04:36She was not happy about it.
04:39Okay, we couldn't help entertaining her a bit though.
04:41She's just so cute.
04:47Slowly but surely, Kobe started showing a bit more interest.
04:51This was the first time he actually played with her.
04:54It was a really nice moment to see.
04:56All right then, you ready you two?
04:59Yeah?
05:01Someone's very excited.
05:04Good boy.
05:06We took them out on walks together.
05:08I thought it would be a good place for them to bond.
05:10Kobe could run away from her if he wanted to.
05:16Moki, come.
05:17Come on.
05:18Come on, Moki.
05:19Come over here.
05:21But because Kobe still wasn't completely sure of Mokes,
05:24we would take them out separately too.
05:28It also meant Moki wouldn't get too dependent on him.
05:32Plus, she was still a pup.
05:34She had the whole world to see.
05:36We took her everywhere with us.
05:39Basically, every other walk would be Kobe and Moki together.
05:42It was the place they bonded the best at the beginning.
05:44Probably because of the space Kobe had.
05:54She's still a bit scared at the moment because she's still so young.
06:06She's still a bit scared at the beginning.
06:12She's still a bit scared.
06:30What is that? Who's that? Who's that? Who's that?
06:39He doesn't understand what's going on.
06:52I couldn't believe it. Kobe actually started playing with her. If you could have seen my face at this moment,
06:58I was so relieved. I honestly thought we were going to have two dogs that hated each other.
07:05He started rolling onto his back, being so much more submissive, they were just giving the most heartwarming moments.
07:15They even started running and playing together on walks.
07:22Look at them two go. I feel like a proud parent.
07:29Kobe didn't even mind the little kisses anymore. He started seeing her as part of our pack.
07:46He just started looking so much more relaxed around her. Rolling onto his back. It was a phew moment. These
07:53two are actually going to get along.
08:19Yeah, I know. He really let her do that.
08:30It's safe to say, these two are now best friends.
08:34Appreciate it.
08:34We'll see you next time.
08:34Bye.
08:35Bye.
08:35Bye.
08:35Bye.
