Ty The Dog Guy On The Daily

Today, I’ve been hanging out with two of my dogs as well as a few of my clients’ dogs. Watching all of them together got me thinking about multi-dog households. Many of my clients struggle with having moe than one dog in their home. Their dogs get into fights, become destructive, or simply feed off each others’ misbehavior. When someone rings the doorbell, they have two or three dogs barking up the walls rather than just one. That’s enough to drive anyone crazy! Multi-dog households present unique challenges. I frequently see two dogs from the same household begin to fight. This can happen to dogs who’ve been living together for months or even years. They coexist and seem to be getting along, but one day they suddenly get into a fight. A week or so later they fight again, and then in no time they’re at each others’ throats every day. This situation occurs because the dogs were only “getting along” under the banner of a lack of control. Their owners weren’t giving much leadership or structure to the dogs
