## Resource

Thinking about adding a second dog to your family? Before you bring home that new puppy, it’s crucial to make sure your existing dog is everything you want him to be—obedient, calm in the house, and good with other dogs. Adding another dog won’t solve behavioural issues; it will usually make them worse. In this episode, Panos and Luke break down the step-by-step process for setting your dogs up for success when introducing a new puppy. From preparation and first meetings on neutral ground, to managing at home, to building a healthy long-term relationship, you’ll learn how to create harmony between your dogs from the very beginning. You’ll also hear pro tips on reading body language, avoiding common mistakes, and managing challenges like jealousy, hyperactivity, and resource guarding. If you’re planning to grow your pack, this episode is your guide to making the transition as smooth as possible.
