Training Tip: Multi-Dog Households

TRAINING TIP: If you have a multi-dog household, to foster superior communication, bonding, attentiveness, and obedience, periodically separate the dogs to spend one-on-one time, especially during “quality” activities, such as walks, play, and training.

Fairy, Andrew, and Bandit Visited CPT for a Private Behavior Modification Session on Dog Aggression

Fairy and her husband Rusty first contacted CPT in July 2014 regarding their then 8-month old Norwegian Elkhound littermates Smokey and Bandit. They were concerned about the dogs’ unruly household behavior, which included jumping, digging, stealing food, and bolting, their lack of adherence to obedience commands, and their pulling and apparent aggression when encountering unfamiliar dogs while walking on-leash. Fairy and Rusty completed one private lesson at CPT, then elected to convert to board training.
