Meet this big sweetie, Miss Rosie, who is an American Mastiff. This is a breed that was created in Ohio. She loves to play with all the different toys. How many ways can she play with Mr. Fox?

Sweet Ellen💕 her guardians adopted her from a rescue and have been working with her on getting her used to being around other people.

Miss Millie was learning the 123 pattern game with her guardian to help with loose leash walking. She first practiced the game indoors and then she is practicing it outside in the driveway to help with doing it on her walks at the park. Her owner is using a hands-free leash.

Muk and I are practicing the 123 pattern game developed by Leslie McDevitt.
Dogs learn in patterns and this game helps bring attention and connection to you while walking thus creating a loose leash.
It’s also great to use when getting past distractions.
Good job Muk!

When getting two puppies together it’s very important to keep these tips in mind to help prevent behavioral problems so you are able to raise two confident adult dogs.

DOUBLE TROUBLE
The challenges of raising two puppies together.

The problem behaviours that are commonly seen in dogs that are raised together is often mistakenly called “litter mate syndrome”, but these behaviours are not specific to dogs from the same litter and can occur with any 2 dogs that are raised together.

The problems that may develop have nothing to do with sharing similar DNA or coming from the same litter, but depends on how the pups are raised and how their environment is managed.

Problem behaviour is usually a combination of relational dynamics, poor socialization, habituation, a lack of separate experiences and no individual resilience or self-confidence building.

Many people believe it’s a great idea to get two pups at the same time. They’ll be able to keep each other company when left alone, they won’t be bored; they’ll have each other to play with; they will always have a friend; both children in the family can have one; the breeder said it’s a good idea, you just couldn’t bear to leave the other one behind….and more, but this can lead to long term problems if there is no awareness of how to prevent potential problems.

Relying on the relationship between the dogs to fill the missing pieces of responsible pet parenting is setting the stage for the development of problem behaviours.

Although sibling pairs or 2 pups together may come with unique challenges, pups raised together can absolutely form healthy human bonds and develop into well-adjusted, confident dogs as long as we are aware of what could go wrong and are prepared to put in the work to prevent problems.

Flirt pole play is a great outlet for herding breeds like Nellie who is a border collie instead of chasing and trying to herd the kids in the family.

Harper got to enjoy lots of enriching time outside during her training. She got to see horses for the first time, observing them in the corral across the street.
Providing plenty of mental and physical outlets for normal dog behavior can also help prevent behavioral problems from developing.
