  • Summary

  • In this episode of 'Found It Fetched It,' Jo Perrott and Claire Denyer explore the challenges and considerations of bringing a new dog into a household. They discuss why people often need another dog, the importance of recognising individual dog personalities, and the common misconceptions about adding a second dog for companionship or fixing issues with the first dog. The episode highlights the financial, spatial, and training commitments involved with multi-dog households and emphasises the need for careful integration and management to avoid potential behaviour problems.


    Jo and Claire advise on getting another dog, focusing on having the right motivations, dealing with existing behavioural issues first, and ensuring effective integration strategies. They also encourage exploring new activities with current dogs instead of immediately seeking a new one and offer resources for further guidance through the LWDG community.
