Not all dogs adjust well to shared custody. Some dogs can settle in just fine to a life split between two homes, but this is not always the case. For many dogs, it is a stressful way to live and not ideal for them. The reality is in a divorce, or any separation, emotions can cloud our best judgment. While deep down no one wants to cause a dog stress or anxiety, it is all too easy for a dog to end up in the middle of a fight that is not their burden to bear. In my behavior practice I spent years working with dogs who were having behavior problems after a custody decision was made that the dog could not cope with.
