The benefits of having more than one dog and what you should do to ensure everyone gets along. We talk about:

  • How having another dog in the home can be beneficial for a dog
  • How it can cause issues
  • Disagreements between dogs are normal, just like people disagree
  • What kind of disagreement is okay
  • The mistake many people make which makes things worse
  • How to make sure resources aren't a source of stress
  • How to deal with dog fights and break them up
  • Management can be life-saving for multi-dog homes
  • On the fly training for polite interactions
  • And as always, we recommend some books

The books recommended in this episode are:

How to P*** Off Men: 109 Things to Say to Shatter the Male Ego by Kyle Prue

Birds of Coastal British Columbia by Nancy Baron and John Acorn
