Multidog home? No problem!

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

I LOVE working with multiple dogs in a home - there are so many training opportunities for teaching self control, patience, and emotional regulation, right in your own home!

I just met Gracie and Rory and we put a plan in place to build Rory’s self-control—so there’s more peace in the home and Gracie gets her own space, toys, chews, and one-on-one time with her people without needing to put the puppy away.

My home is so quiet...

For the first time in 20 years, I only have 2 dogs. I am used to having 4 or 5 at a time, plus a cat. The house is a little quiet these days, and that's ok, but I do miss the fun of a pack of dogs 🐶

If you have multiple dogs who all get along and don't have any behaviour challenges, you're pretty lucky! It's very common for there to be personality conflicts, arousal issues, guarding, and other tensions between dogs who live together.

If this is you, I would love to help!

Teaching dogs to live together peacefully and safely is one of my superpowers =)

If you've been thinking about joining Dream Dog, I want you to know that you and however many dogs live in your home are all welcome under one account - the Dream Dog program is for the whole family!

Did you miss the webinar? Want to watch again? The main presentation is first with all of the Q&As at the end! There were some great questions!

Would you rather listen while you walk your dog? I uploaded the audio only to my podcast 😁

Dream Dog is designed to teach you how to train your dog in a way that makes sense for YOUR dog and for YOUR goals. It's individualized training in a small group format.

Dream Dog is OPEN for enrollment now and the program officially begins on February 7th.

>> If you aren't sure if it's for you, book a free call so we can chat.​

Happy Saturday! I joined Melissa Breau on the Fenzi Dog Sports Podcast this week to talk about intrahousehold aggression—why dogs in the same home end up in conflict, and easy games that take the stress out of the day-to-day, making real progress. 🎧 Listen Now I also gave a sneak peek at my upcoming 3 week course on teaching dogs to move away from conflict.

Hey friend, I had a visitor this week—a nine-week-old working line Aussie named Gator. She came over for a few hours of socialization, and we packed a lot of learning into some very short play sessions. I started some patterns and structure for self control and arousal management without doing obedience drills. A few highlights: Toy trading — Prevent keep-away games and resource guarding before they start, and build a foundation for recall away from dogs and prey animals. Sit for the toy —...
