Your Shep will find it a bit odd having to share your attention and that, but she'll get used to it.

You know your dog and what he is like when meeting other dogs out and so try to treat it as if you were doing just that. Don't make a big deal out of it. Then go for a walk together for 10 minutes and see how they interact. Then bring them back into your garden together. I brought 12 fosters into my home within the last year and have brought many other rescues/boarders through the gates as well. If you tie your dog up as the poster above suggests then your dog will resent another in the garden and you could make it a whole heap worse. Meet out on neutral ground somewhere.

If no aggression is shown then bring them closer and just let them sniff each other for awhile. maybe take them both on a walk for a bit to wear off some energy and to bond.
