Laguna Niguel, CA - Many dog owners don’t intentionally end up with several dogs, but sometimes things just work out that way. A family member becomes ill, has to go into a nursing home and is heartbroken at the thought of having to surrender them to a shelter.
Or somenone sees a photo of a dog on a local rescue organization’s social media page and there is just something about the way he looks at the camera that melts their heart, even though they have two other dogs already. Or, they just love the idea of having multiple dogs so that’s what they do.
Whatever the circumstances that have led to a multi-dog household, a person’s romantic ideas about having a harmonious canine pack go out the window when they suddenly find themselves having to break up their dogs as they get into arguments or even all out fights at feeding time, jostling each other when it’s time to go out, roughousing while playing that occasionally get too rough, and jockeying for who gets which space at bedtime.
Yelling and screaming at the dogs is not a good strategy. Positive training and calm management is the key to success and it’s the human, the leader, who must decide what is appropriate behavior, not the dogs.
