THE CHALLENGE
The Problem
Your dogs fight over food, toys, attention or space. Feeding time is stressful. Walks with multiple dogs are impossible. A new dog has disrupted the peace. One dog bullies the others. You can't leave them alone together. Your home feels like a war zone instead of a household.
OUR APPROACH
The Solution
Multi-dog households need clear structure, individual training and managed resources. We establish rules that all dogs follow, teach each dog impulse control individually, then build reliable group behaviour. Most multi-dog conflict comes from lack of structure—not incompatible dogs.
RESULTS
What You'll Achieve
THE PROCESS
How It Works
Household assessment: Observe dog dynamics, identify conflict triggers and hierarchy issues
Individual training: Each dog learns obedience separately first—no shortcuts
Resource management: Structured feeding, toy access and attention protocols
Group obedience: Practice commands with all dogs together once individual skills are solid
Conflict resolution: Specific protocols for inter-dog tension and guarding
New dog introductions: Structured process for adding dogs to existing households
FAQ
Common Questions
My dogs only fight sometimes—is that normal?
Occasional scuffles (noise, no injuries) can be normal dog communication. Regular fights with injuries, prolonged aggression or one dog constantly bullying another is NOT normal and needs intervention. If you're unsure, film the interactions—we can assess whether it's play, communication or genuine conflict.
Should I let my dogs 'work it out' themselves?
No. 'Working it out' often means the bigger or more assertive dog bullies the other into submission. That's not resolution—it's suppression. The bullied dog becomes anxious, the bully learns aggression works. Humans need to set and enforce household rules. Dogs don't resolve conflict democratically.
How do I introduce a new dog to my existing dog?
Neutral territory first (local park, not your house). Parallel walking before face-to-face meeting. Slow home introduction—separate spaces initially, then supervised together, then gradual freedom. Never force it. Most introductions take 2-4 weeks to fully settle. Rushing creates lasting conflict.
Do I need to train each dog separately?
Yes, initially. Each dog needs individual obedience before you can manage them as a group. Training two untrained dogs together is chaos—they feed off each other's energy. Once each dog responds reliably on their own, we combine them. Expect to spend more time in the early weeks training individually.
