Bringing Home a Second Dog: Introductions, Jealousy, and a Peaceful Pack

Bringing a second dog into your home is a joyful decision — but it also brings challenges that can unsettle even the most devoted pet parent. This warm, practical handbook walks you through every step of the journey, from choosing the right newcomer to managing jealousy, resource guarding, and the delicate dance of introductions. You’ll learn how to read your dogs’ body language, establish a calm pack hierarchy without force, and create routines that help both dogs feel secure. Feeding, grooming, and health considerations for multi-dog households are covered with specific, vet-informed advice. With clear protocols for the first meeting, the first week, and long-term harmony, this book gives you the tools to prevent conflict and nurture a loving, lasting bond between your dogs. Part of The Happy Pet Library.
