Sibling School is a course designed for those who are raising (or fostering) littermate puppies, or puppies very close in age.  Ideally this work starts even before your puppies arrive in your home. But if your puppies are already in your home, or are juveniles or adolescents, the techniques and practices in this course will help you foster harmony between your dogs.

This course is not designed to resolve serious behavior problems your dogs may be experiencing such as dog-dog aggression, fear, human directed aggression, compulsive behaviors and etc.   Such behaviors will require in person work with a Veterinary Behaviorist or credentialed Behavior Counsellor  and fall outside the scope of this course.  

Will this course guarantee my puppies will always get along?  Sorry, but no. It’s impossible to predict how any two dogs will get along together over the span of many years.   As some dogs reach adulthood their tolerance for other dogs may wane based on inherited factors of behavior and health, a variety of other factors can also affect how dogs feel about each other and behave.  

This course will prevent many common and predictable problems associated with raising two puppies together and increase the odds you will have a long term positive outcome, but it cannot guarantee it.  

Whenever we choose to own multiple dogs we assume the risk that our dogs may not always enjoy each other’s company and it becomes our work to manage that possible outcome to ensure the welfare of all our dogs.
