      In addition to doing these things, you should also make sure to spend time with all of your dogs together as well. You and your dogs are a family so it is just as important that they get along with each other as they do with you.

      Be sure to include all of your dogs in daily play time and encourage your dogs to play with each other on their own as well. If one of your dogs starts to become more dominant and tries to push another dog away, remove your attention from both of them until they work things out. You don’t want to reinforce bad behavior.

If you give them a chance, your dogs will become your most faithful friends and companions, loving you with no conditions – all they want is to know that you love them back. By putting some of these tips to work you can make sure that each of your dogs feels loved.
