Normally they are well behaved as long as they get plenty of exercise. I have a few problems at the moment but that's another story, and a long one!

Multiple dog households are never dull. I totally agree with Lora, management and exercise are vital. I think taking time to train each one individually helps too. <abbr><em>Maries last blog post..<a href="http://resqtails.com/2008/10/29/wordless-wednesday-10-29-08/" rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday 10-29-08</a></abbr></em> Love the picture!

Haha, I don't think I'm dressing any animals up for Halloween Mayra. Does Amigo have his costume ready yet? Thanks Tawna! Not sure if I would call them angels, but they were good, especially for their pictures. And I love Emma.

My Emma is an angel too as long as she with submissive dogs in the pack. If a dog wants to hold their own turf then it turns into a bloody fight. I keep Emma out of those situations and therefore keep myself out of those situations. I know its a lazy answer but my stress level is greatly reduced by not having to seperate the dog magnets.

"managment" is the optimum word! It takes a strong leader who is fair, unbiased and attentive to needs to run a large pack. Knock on wood, but we have not had a fight or scuffle in the pack for almost 3 years. Exercise is KEY and never allowing things to run on autopilot.

It's a lot more "exciting" for the dogs to be around dogs they don't see every day and to be in a house that is not their own. Yeah, you are so right, Zookeeper.

Once Timber acclimated to our pack things started to calm down more. Last week's incidents not withstanding. There's more or less a pattern to the days and unless something comes up they have the same schedule. Things are generally very calm in terms of the dogs all doing the same thing. Eat, sleep, play, potty, sleep more, get a treat, sleep, eat dinner, play, go to bed. :) Owning 4 dogs at once is a treat. :) I really think that a “visiting” pack is a lot different dynamic than a full time large pack.
