Training more than one dog? We understand it can be challenging.
Managing a multi-dog household comes with its own set of challenges, from juggling different personalities to keeping consistency across training sessions.
But with the right strategies, you can create a happy, well-behaved pack where each dog understands boundaries and enjoys training.
We’ll explore practical tips for training multiple dogs at once and how the Dogit app can help you stay organised, consistent, and stress-free.
Why Training Multiple Dogs Requires a Different Approach
Every dog learns at their own pace. In a multi-dog home, it’s easy for training to become chaotic if there’s no clear structure. Without an intentional plan, you may find:
- One dog copying bad habits from another
- Competition for attention or treats
- Training sessions that feel rushed or inconsistent
By understanding how to adapt your approach, you’ll set all your dogs up for long-term success.
Start with one-on-one training sessions
When you’re training two or more dogs, individual training is essential in the early stages. Here’s why:
- Each dog has different needs, confidence levels, and attention spans.
- One-on-one time helps avoid distractions and builds strong foundations.
- You can address specific behavioural issues without interference from the other dog(s).
Tip: You can use the Dogit app to create training journeys for each dog, making it easy to track progress individually and ensure no one falls behind.
Create clear household rules
A structured routine creates a sense of security for your dogs, so by setting consistent boundaries for:
- Feeding times (separate feeding stations may help reduce tension)
- Controlled greetings when entering or leaving rooms to prevent excitement or crowding
- Toy sharing and supervised playtime
Your dogs will begin to understand expectations, which naturally reduces stress and unwanted behaviours.
