I help families teach their dogs how to coexist calmly without constant supervision. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Managing a multi-dog household is more than just letting dogs play.

The truth is that constant play often leads to over-stimulation, which is where most household behavioral issues begin. My focus is on teaching your dogs to be neutral in each other's presence, so they learn to rest and exist calmly rather than constantly competing for your attention or space. When you have a multi-dog household, the goal shouldn't be to have them 'best friends' every waking minute. It should be to have them be respectful housemates who understand their boundaries. If your dogs are constantly interacting, they never learn to self-soothe or settle down. This is why I emphasize structured independence. ### The Myth of Constant Play It is common to think that if dogs are playing, they are happy. Often, they are actually over-aroused and unable to switch off. I teach my clients how to intervene before that play turns into frustration. This includes using tools like crates or playpens, not as a punishment, but as a designated 'off switch' where they can decompress. ### Communication and Body Language Most owners miss the subtle signs of stress. A dog who is constantly pacing, staring, or nudging you for attention is often telling you they need guidance. In my workshops and consultations, we look at real-life scenarios to decode these signals. You will learn how to use simple techniques like body blocking and changing your own body language to interrupt tension before it escalates into a conflict. ### Walk Mechanics Leash walks in a multi-dog household can be stressful if both dogs feed off each other's energy. I show you how to manage the pack by becoming the center of attention. When you make yourself more interesting than the distractions outside, your dogs stop looking at each other or the environment and start looking at you for direction. This is about building a relationship where your input matters more than their surroundings. ## About Furry Story I’m Twisha, the human behind Furry Story.
