| For those with two - Do you let them stay together, like in one playpen/crate, or do you have separate ones for each of them?

| Hi! I have 5 dogs, 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas and they all stay together when I leave the house, in their own tile floor dog room. They all get along. Do yours not get along?

| Oh I was just wondering. I don't even HAVE Maggie yet... I'm just trying to be prepared. I have no idea if they'll get along or not. Thanks, though!

| I have 3. The 4 & 5 year old stay together in their room; I keep the puppy in an expen as I am not ready to trust them all together when I am gone.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I'm here all day with both of mine so it wasn't really a problem. The first couple of times I did have to leave I put them in separate rooms.....Reno in the tile kitchen and Ruby in my bedroom with pads. If I were to bring home a puppy and had to leave them for work, I would opt for separate crates until I knew they got along well with each other.

| Gracie and Holly share an ex-pen. They each have a crate inside the pen but usually they snuggle together in one. They were in separate pens until Holly was 6 months old, meaning they had about 3 months to get acquainted before cohabitation.

| I have two, at first we didn't always let them near each other, as the older one, Yoda (who was almost four at the time) wasn't too fond of Winky, the baby, yet. As they got used to each other, we did let them stay together more and more, and that worked out fine. It was mainly Winky trying to "bug" or nip at Yoda, as Yoda was quite good about it, and didn't try to attack back or hurt the baby. I think mainly it takes a bit of time before they get used to one another. |

| I have two and they get along great! They stay together although they each have there own crate because Jasmine is protective of it and nobody can take anything from it or go in it. If you take something she will go get it and put it back in there in a day or two!

| I have 4... they all get to pick where they sleep.. I crated Bella when I first got her because I didn't know if I could trust her loose in the house as with Bailey and Brooklynn... Peyton was never crated because my boyfriend moved in and he's always here with them..

| I have 2 Yorkies and a cocker . the Yrkies go in a playyard when we aren't home and the cocker goes in her room . They all go to their separate kennels at night ( the Yorkies are in our room ) . I am not so leary about leaving them all loose in the house for a few minutes now but the boys just run down the stairs if I put a jacket on and they are waiting inside the play yard ( in the basement ) for their treats :-) The Cocker has to go into her room as she has a BAD habit of getting into the food cupboard ( she can open anything ) and eating things like iced tea mix , syrup and even chocolate milk powder !!! |

| My 2 stay together 24/7 now, in a pen as well. When I first brought Coco home I kept them separate until I knew she was checked out healthy, at that point I started slowly getting them together. It was quite some time before I trusted them alone together.

| Thanks for all the great advice! I'll probably keep them separate for 3 months and then trust them alone together.
