| answered a question | Multiple dogs watched at one time? I have two dogs and accept up to five others. I only take dogs 40lbs or less and prefer really 20 lbs or less if I have a full house. The new dog is brought into my yard first and leash removed. The owner and I chat while the new dog sniffs all the smells. After about 10 mins I introduce the first dog. I always choose the one with highest energy first. This tends to help get the first nervousness and energy lowered. After the first two seem calmer, I bring the next one out, etc. Playtime is always outside. In the house, they usually just get up on couches and chairs to rest. I keep two play pens in my main room so I can separate pups without isolating them. Calmer pups outside pens, more active, high energy dogs inside pens. (Like a time out) lol. Feeding is always done with them separated and then EVERYONE outside immediately after because they will poo within 30 mins of eating. If one doesn't poo, I put leash on them and walk them in a circle. This sends a message to their brain to poo. Sleeping arrangements are done according to personalities. Again using my pens to separate the high energy dogs. Hope this helped! |
