Get another dog??

Our puppy Jersey has lots of energy (as most puppies do) and at times I am afraid she is bored. I mean we have puppy "play dates" with friends, go on daily walks and she has a big yard to run around in, but I feel like maybe she needs more. Her new thing is barking & growling at us, it is relentless at times. I thought it was for attention but when I sit w/ her to play, pet her, etc., she doesn't stop. This may sound crazy, but a friend of ours suggested we actually get another puppy so she has a buddy to play with and release some energy with. We definitley want another dog in the future, but I think maybe it's too soon. Has anyone done this? He said it worked wonders for him & his dogs. Just looking for advice. TIA, I really appreciate the help I get from you all!

Honestly...I probably wouldn't. I would wait until she is a little older.
She is just a puppy and she'll play with you or another dog...IMO you are better having her play with you because she will bond with you. If you get another dog they will bond more to each other and you will just be a caretaker.

I did this. I say, wait until he is about 1 year then go for it. They definitely keep each other company.
FM me for me info!

Re: Get another dog??

we bought Bella a sister (Lexi) when she just turned 10 mos old. If you can handle one, then you can handle two.

DO IT!!! Your baby needs a sister/brother!!! Chat Icon
