How to raise your dog at 2?

Training a dog is often seen as an individual responsibility. However, we want to demystify this received idea and highlight the many benefits of being two in this adventure !

Since the arrival of our malinois Drago , we have discovered that a two-person approach to dog training is not only beneficial for him, but also for us as masters.

So in this article, we are going to explore the benefits of parenting together, the distribution of tasks and the family cohesion it promotes!

One of the first advantages of being two in the education of your dog is the possibility of rest each other and to relay in responsibilities .

Having a partner makes it possible to share moments of work and outings, but also to take time for yourself and recharge the batteries. In addition, it allows us to offer our 4-legged friend a constant presence and continuous support.

Developing harmonious communication

Communication is essential in dog training. By being two, you have the opportunity to discuss and set up educational strategies together. This promotes consistency in the instructions given, thus avoiding any confusion for your Malinois. Moreover, it allows to share your observations and take informed decisions about his learning.

Strengthen family cohesion

The education of a dog is also an opportunity to strengthen family cohesion . By including all family members in the process, you create closer bonds and share a common responsibility . Children can also learn the importance of respect , of patience and empathy for animals.

Promoting consistency and complementarity

Parenting together promotes constancy within established rules and limits . By working together, you can be more vigilant about enforcing guidelines and correcting unwanted behavior. Moreover, each person brings different skills and qualities , which allows a complementary approach and a better adaptation to the specific needs of your dog.

In short…

It's time to end to the received idea according to which a malinois, or that a dog in general, can only have one master ! Education in pairs offers many advantages, particularly in terms of rest, harmonious communication, family cohesion and educational constancy .

If you are considering adopting a malinois or any other dog, don't hesitate to get involved in this great adventure. The results in terms of bonding with your pet and mutual fulfillment will be rewarding!

So, are you ready to train your dog together?
