Adding Another Dog to Your Home

8/21/2024

 
This topic comes up in a variety of ways in both my personal and professional life.
  • Adding a dog to my own personal home
  • Visiting family/friends who also have dogs (a little off topic but related)
  • Clients wondering about adding another dog
  • Clients who have added another dog and things aren't going as they expected.

When we decide to add another dog to our home, we usually have visions of the dogs becoming good friends, playing together, sleeping together, sharing everything, etc.   And while that sometimes does happen, it is also wise to consider that sometimes it doesn't, or not as fast as we would like.  If you're in the thinking about it stage, we'll look at some factors to consider and ways to stack the deck in your favour.  If you've already added your new dog and you've run into some unexpected hiccups, try backing up a bit, give everyone their own space, and reintroduce slower and potentially with some help creating good associations and tolerance for the other dog.
