I'm trying to spend equal time and pay equal attention to both but Olive is being mean and making Treasure nervous... Any advice? Thanks!
Equal time does not work as they are not equals.
So which ever one is causing the most stress you either work it they go last or they go first. Which ever way it settles things down. Plus I start Nothing in life is free with them. Dogs do not look at the world as fair or equal they look at it totally as resource based and what is in it for them for comfort and benefit.
How do I get that to work for me the best.
