He's only trying to teach her the ropes and what is ok and what isn't. They will eventually grow to be close but let them work it out themselves as long as it is safe to do so. Our boy was not happy about us bringing our puppy home after he lost his older sister but he soon got used to her. At first he wouldn't play with her but would allow her to snuggle and sleep with him. Then he eventually broke down and played with her about two weeks to a month in. They are now inseperable. They love each other dearly. They are about 3 years apart in age. She is now 4 and he is 7.

Yeah we've had some issues between our boy and some dogs but not others. In general he didn't get along with other males even though he is neutered but now he seems much more tolerant of other males. Our girl is the only intact dog in our household for now and is definately the dominant one but our boy has no problem putting her in her place if she is being too rough. Which is actually rather amazing as she outweighs him by over 10 pounds as he's a rescue and she is a fairly heavy boned show dog. They all get along differently so not every dog is meant to be in a multiple dog home, some are just as happy as only dogs. Just depends on the dog but it does sound like your two are getting along well now. Sounds very similar to our two when they first started out.
