The Multi-Tasking Puppy Household
Managing Multi-Dog Dynamics and Kids Safely
A puppy, a senior dog, and a six-year-old all speak different languages — and you're the translator. 12 modules on neutral-territory introductions and parallel walks, the senior sanctuary, why kids trigger chase reflexes, 100% active supervision, the three commandments (no face-licking, no lifting, no chasing), twin safe zones, closed-door meals, the toy lockup, kids as treat dispensers, and breaking up a scuffle without hands.
About this course
A new puppy doesn't arrive into an empty house. There's a senior dog who's too polite to say she's had enough, a child whose squeal sounds exactly like prey, a cat on the windowsill, and a budgie with opinions. This course makes you the chief architect of all of it. It covers the first meeting with the resident dog (neutral ground, parallel walks, short and structured), the gated sanctuary your elder needs, why kids and puppies misread each other so badly, what 'active supervision' really means (within arm's reach, not in the next room), the three commandments every child learns, twin safe zones, meals behind closed doors, the toy lockup that ends guarding, how to turn a kid into a treat-dispensing calm machine — and how to break up a scuffle without putting a hand in it.
What you'll learn
- The chief-architect mindset: proactive management with gates, crates and rules instead of wishful thinking
- Introducing the resident dog: neutral territory, parallel walks, brief structured first meetings
- The senior sanctuary (gated rooms, elevated beds) and advocating for the elder dog
- Why kids trigger chase and defence reflexes; 100% active supervision; the three commandments
- Child-free puppy havens and puppy-free child havens; closed-door meals; the toy monopoly rule
- Kids as calm-rewarders (the scatter game) and emergency interruption without hands in the middle
