104. Your First Dog Needs You More Than You Need A New Puppy
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025
Before you add another dog, there's a hard truth I want you to hear: your first dog may need you more than a new puppy ever could. In this episode, I talk about why adding a second or third dog too early often creates stress, behavior issues, and guilt, even when the decision comes from a place of love. I share what I see repeatedly as a trainer: dogs whose needs multiply, not disappear, when another dog is added, and households that tip into chaos before the first dog is truly stable. You'll learn the clear signs that it's not the right time yet, the signs that it is, and how waiting can protect the relationship you already have.
