Denise it should help a lot. I don’t think the breed matters personally, a friend is the main thing.

We have a 20 week old male beagle puppy he gets bored very easy and was wondering if a 2nd dog would help with that. A lady at the dog park told me if you had a second dog your dog will behave better. I wasn’t sure if it would be best to get same breed or a different breed I know I would want a female. Any advice would be great.

Glad I found this! Going to meet our 2nd rescue dog tomorrow to make sure she’s a good fit! It’s just like kids; 2 was better, so now we have 4! Strangely enough, it is easier at times, even with the expense. When they are all happy playing together it is the best thing in the world! Thanks for your blog!

Hi,
We have a rescue dog called Joey who we have had for 1 1/2 years and have now in the house on Trail for 2 weeks a bitch called Tilly. We are hoping she will bring Joey out a little as all he does is sleep and needs some winding up to play. Things went great the 5 times we took them to meet each other, running aroudn the kennel grounds like puppies but now at home Joey is ignoring Tilly when she wants to play. Is this likely to last, if not how long before Joey accepts her and lets his guard down?
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris, thanks for the great comment. It really does work doesn’t it?

Getting another Dog after you have one already trained makes it so much easier. They love the company as well.

Thanks for posting about this, and highlighting all the positives of having more than 1 dog – it’s true that 2 is not any more trouble than 1, and they do keep each other company. For years I had only 1 dog at a time, then 2 years ago we decided to adopt Rosie, a 3 yr old rescued dog – she didn’t appear to be housetrained, and it made it a lot easier training her (or retraining) having Abby already in the household and trained – Rosie copied Abby and went out every time she did, and got the idea very quickly. And with walking, having 2 dogs equals out everything – your one arm won’t gett longer than the other from just one sided pulling – hah! I would encourage anyone thinking about it to go ahead and do it – you won’t regret it.

Hi Anne, Dogs definitely seem to be happier when they have another Doggie companion. Glad they all have company for each other.

Hi Friar, it is great to see them going bonkers enjoying each others comapny isn’t it?

Now, three Dogs, yes, as I have said before “owning three Dogs is a lot more work than owning one more than two!”

It can be a lot of work at times.

I like Number 9 the best. Watching two dogs go ballistic and chase each other in the park is hilarious. It lowers my blood pressure. And like you said, it burns off all their energy, and you don't have to do anything. Now what about THREE dogs? I've heard two is no more work than one. But I 've also heard three starts to be a bit much, it's a whole different ball game. Friar’s last blog post..Quadrupling your Effectiveness with S.E.O.
