To handle 5 dogs, have a Meet & Greet before committing to the stay. Successful Meet & Greets include: Meeting on neutral ground. Introduce dogs at a park or on the pavement outside the home so no one gets territorial.
Dogs that seem to get along still need to be monitored to make sure nothing goes awry. To keep everything cool during feeding and playtime: Separate during feeding. Keep dogs apart during feeding to avoid any instances of food aggression.
Make sure that each dog in the home gets some individual time and attention. Set up time during the day to give each dog individual time. Whether you’re training, playing, or just snuggling, each dog needs a little extra.
Enlist the help of your guests. If they’re also dog people, have your guests give the dogs some love. It’ll help everyone de-stress and feel good! With these tips you’ll be safely and happily managing a multi-dog household–so you can relax and enjoy the holidays.
