Do the dogs have seperate beds?
Do any of the dogs sleep on the bed with you?
Do they sleep in your bedroom at night?
Are they fed at the same times?
Do you have a place to free run them?
Do they tend to wander around the house or settle in one place?
Are they using one room more than any as a toilet or any particular area of the room (under the window/in the middle/near the walls or door?)?
Do you leave toys out for them to play with?
How do they react to you paying attention to Augie and Hooch?
Have you noticed a lot of yawning or panting?
1. Maddie and Lexi sleep together closed off in the kitchen. Hooch sleeps in his bed in the living room.
2. NO DOGS ON THE BED (Augie's rule)
3. Refer to question 1.
4. They are all fed in the mornings in the kitchen and eat well out of their own bowls. No fights or anything.
5. Lexi and Hooch run free in the yard but Maddie has to be on a leash... or she will take off.
6. They wander and then settle where ever they want.
7. They were using the same exact spot in the living room for a potty and then broke tradition and went in the kitchen the other day.
8. We don't leave toys out -- confrontations might arise but when I'm watching I will throw some balls out and let them play with them.
9. Maddie reacts great... she doesn't care. Lexi is ALWAYS the alpha dog even in a strangers home with a strangers dog so she gets snippy when I call Hooch. If I'm in the kitchen and Hooch wants to come in she will stand in his way and growl. Hooch is very mild mannered and just walks away but we can't let Lexi do that.... this is Hooch's house!
10. No, haven't noticed either of those two things.
Hope that helps answer your questions. Thanks Carrie - I knew I could count on you!![]()
