Hi,
I never thought of penning a dog next to the new mama and babies but sounds like a good idea. I have had success with holding the favorite one between the unfavorite and the dams head so that when she turns to smell to see who is nursing she smells the one she likes. After a couple of weeks the unliked one will hopefully learn to run to nurse when the liked one nurses. Before long my doe didn't pay any attention to who was nursing and did accept both babies. Good luck!
