Which good advice can you give on having two dogs on the same house?

First of all, its best if you spend time with them to figure out which one is the dominant one, and how far he will go to establish it. One dog could seriously enjure another. If they are puppies, they will learn as they grow, and there shouldnt be a fuss over whos the boss. One will take the others lead, and it should stick. Older dogs, how ever, are already set in thiere ways, and if they dont know each other, it could pose problems. Just observe and come to your best opinion. They could be best freinds.Which good advice can you give on having two dogs on the same house?
Make sure that they are opposite sex, having the same sex dogs it is not a good idea. Saw this topic on Dog Whispers with that Cesar.Which good advice can you give on having two dogs on the same house?
Not really sure what your looking for here, dogs are social animals so usually they perfer others of the same species around. Whether male or female shouldn't matter. One will be more dominate thus the Alpha male and the second will follow in hand. So what's the issue??
you could consider using Bach flower remedies for dominance or jealousy they have been used in England for70 years and are used by the royal family
I guess I don't actually know what your question is??? I have 11 dogs and 3 five week old puppies. So, I don't see a problem with 2?
Need a little more info. Do you have one now and are adding a 2nd? Breeds, male/female, etc.
What kind of dogs, male or female, age?
A lot of unanswered questions, like the sex and age of the dogs, was one dog there first and you are introducing a new dog?





If you are getting two dogs at the same time, it will make it easier if they are one male and one female. 2 Females may fight to gain dominance and the alpha position. 2 Males may also fight for this same reason, although not as much as females.





In any case, have both dogs spayed or neutered. This will help with attitude as well as house marking and over behaviour problems.





If you have a dog in the house already and are bringing in a new dog, introduce the dogs at a neutral place, not your house.


Go to a park or parking lot, and introduce the dogs there. This will let the existing dog be comfortable meeting the new dog and not feeling threatened and having to protect their turf or their people.





In any case, make sure once both dogs are in the house that they are treated equally, same amount of attention, same food but in separate dishes, consistency in everything so one does not feel they need to be dominant over you.





The dogs will soon determine who is alpha dog among the 2 dog pack. There may be a few scuffles periodically. As long as there is no threat of damage to either dog, allow the dogs to work it out themselves. One will assert their dominance, the other will agree, and peace will be restored.
the bulldog will be more aggressive unless you make them get along with each other. boxers are more friendly and bulldogs are more territorial.. be careful and have them both fixed so that they donot start marking their territories..lol
Make sure that both dogs know YOU are in charge. YOU are the alpha dog. Don't let them get away with ANY bad behavior. If you don't show them you are the top dog, they will fight over dominance. Be the top dog and show them all the goods ways to behave and have fun as a family. You should be fine. Watch ';The Dog Whisperer'; on the national geographic channel on friday nights. Some GREAT advise there, including what I just said. He has a pack of up to 30 dogs, including pitbulls, shepards, rottweilers, and small dogs and they get along just fine. HE is the leader. There is also ';It's me or the dog'; on animal planet. I think that's on friday night too, but a different time. Good luck!
Buy a lot of Fabreeze and tape rollers.....seriously. I have a heck of a time keeping my house smelling good and hair free and I have only one pup.
You have to establish which one is the dominant of the two and continue this order. The other one's feelings won't be hurt if you greet the dominant one first or feed him first.





If there is a big size difference between the dogs you should keep them separate while they're either not being supervised or when you're not home. Not because they'd fight- but if they play the larger one could accidentally injure the smaller one.





Try to sync their schedules by making sure they eat at the same time, exercise together and rest together. That way one won't be bouncing off the walls or have to go out when the other one has settled down and so have you.





Having two dogs is great :) I think it's the perfect amount of dogs to have because there's not dominance tension and it's easy to give them both all your love. They also amuse themselves and you!
