Life With More Than One Dog:

There's something genuinely beautiful about a home with more than one dog, two tails wagging at the door, two warm bodies curled at your feet, two distinct personalities shaping the rhythm of your days.

But here's what most people don't realize before they bring home that second dog: a multi-dog household isn't simply double the love. It's double the influence, double the learning, and double the management. The families I work with across Adams County, in Gettysburg, Littlestown, Fairfield, and the surrounding countryside, who struggle most aren't dealing with dogs that fight constantly or can't coexist. Their challenges are quieter and more insidious: resource guarding that builds slowly, subtle competition that escalates, and a lack of individual training time that erodes each dog's skills.
