education Dogs are social beings that crave recognition. They can become jealous and get into fights or express their sadness through laziness if they don’t feel their social and emotional needs are fulfilled. If you have more than one dog, read on for tips to give your dogs equal care and attention!
Walking several dogs at once is a mess! The leashes become tangled, or one dog runs off and the rest follow. Some days, your dogs need individual attention. Find time to take only one dog for an adventure rather than the whole bunch. This one-on-one time will make things easier for you and give you quality bonding time with each pup.
Walks aren’t the only activities that your dogs should get alone time for. Playtime is also important! To do so individually, put all but one of your dogs in an area of the house where they’re safe. With the remaining pup, play tug-of-war or fetch, or give them a special treat. Try to do this with each of your dogs at least every other day for 15 minutes.
When you had one dog, they slept at the foot (or head) of the bed. Now that you have more than one furry friend, you need to make things equal.
Ensure both pups have a comfortable sleeping area. Choose one of the popular types of dog beds for your dog’s particular needs. Use a crate if necessary. And keep the air conditioning or heat on through the night to keep them at ease.
Just like people, your dogs have unique traits! Be sure to treat each of your dogs like the individuals they are. Small dogs will need smaller bowls, food made for small dogs, properly sized leashes, and smaller treats. Large dogs, on the other hand, can play with tough bones and go for long walks. Provide each of your dogs with specialized care and attention to make them feel special and properly cared for.
Learn as much as you can about your dogs and cater to their needs. This will teach you the best ways to give each of your dogs equal care and attention, demonstrating your love for them.
