Long story short, yes.
It’s twice the money, twice the care, twice the training, possibly twice the walks, and if you’re like me twice the dally glitter.
As a trainer when someone talks to us about getting a new dog it’s our chance to interview them, and make sure they understand what they’re getting themselves into.
It doesn’t always go as straight forward as you like, I can’t walk my two dogs together alone because currently one is reactive and the other has hit and miss recall. So I need to ensure I spend individual time on my dogs to work on those issues and ensure they get a proper walk each.
Too many people will “get another dog for their dog”, they think their dog is bored and lonely. So rather than making an effort to spend more time with their dog, do more training or give their dog more attention, they just get another dog.
It is not that simple I can’t walk promise you that.
While this isn’t a post to put you off of getting a dog, it’s a reminder to think about what you’re doing before purchasing/rescuing your dog

These puppers had a great time at puppy socialisation!
Learning how to appropriately socialise with other dogs, the owners being told body language and what appropriate play looks like. The puppies also got to do lots of investigating of the equipment!
These sessions are kept short at sweet at only half an hour.
Remember to limit puppies access to slide around on slippery floor, their play session was only a few minutes long and regular breaks were made to teach the puppies when they need to stop!

Lovely doing socialisation classes under the sun this evening!
We had two fully classes this evening. A full puppy class and full socialisation class.
Everyone did super well!
