Two Dog Families
We get a lot of families who have multiple dogs. Some families decide to have us work with and train both of them!
Two Dog Family Tips
When you work with multiple dogs, one is normally a weenie and one is normally more outgoing and the crew leader.
When you work with multiple dogs, one is normally more difficult than the other.
Just because they are siblings does NOT mean they will be the same. Siblings can often act totally different than one another. They also normally do not have the same level on the remote collar.
When walking with both dogs on leash make sure they have the same amount of leash. If one dog is ahead of the other it will normally cause the one with the shorter leash to pull harder. Or if one is at heel, make the other walk at heel too. Or if they want to loose leash, then make them both loose leash.
TIP: Other Dogs In The House
If someone we are training has another dog we are training and another dog in the house, once the dog we are training is proficient we need to be training the dog around the other dog in the house. This means place around the other dog, walks with the other dog, door manners, etc.
