Five reasons two dogs are better than one.
1. They'll keep each other entertained. Playtime is an important part of your dog's development in terms of both health and happiness. Providing the proper amount of attention to your pup can be time consuming. So you can save some time by giving them a partner to play with.
2. Makes training easier. Dogs are pack animals and usually look to other dogs in order to model behavior. A new pup would be much easier to train with the help of an older dog, particularly one who already knows the house rules.
3.Helps ease separation anxiety. You won't have to feel guilty about leaving your pup alone at home. Dogs that suffer from separation anxiety really benefit from having a companion. This frees you up to focus on work or enjoy a night out.
4.It's not that expensive. Having two dogs at the same time does not cost much more. Dogs can share toys and supplies including grooming product, water bowls, and treats. You can even get them one Giant bed to share!
5. More happiness! Most people consider getting a second dog because of the joy their first dog has brought them. Why not double that joy and happiness by adding a second four legged friend to the family.
I would love to see you remind people of the joys and importance of adopting dogs and cats from rescues or the pound. A lot of wonderful dogs are rescues and a little obedience class can help you and your new adoptee make it a successful life long treasure. The Cottages at Boldheart Farms Miss Maggie
We have two 5 month old Labrador Retrievers. They’re litter mates, male & female, we also have a nine year old Lab/Pit Mix. They all enjoy each other’s company and we are having a great time watching and taking them to Puppy Training, separately of course.
I’ll always have two dogs! They love each other so much. It’s beautiful to see that bond.
Absolutely having only one is so lonely for the dog.. pack animals need the same species as them to feel good humans are not their species and if you want your animal to be well rounded get a second and third one. The more the better and helping more get homes!
LOL,,,Very funny. I have eight dogs and I can give you sixteen reason to have that many. They are all well trained and they give me hour’s of enjoyment and Unconditional Love.
