For those with more than one

[YorkieChick1]

All 5 of mine are together in a back office with weewee pads. They have a big bed in front of the French Door, getting sun.

Do you ever worry about them fighting?

My two have free run of our bedroom when we're not home. I was worried about them fighting so one day, I set my camera up and video'd them while we were gone. They played for the first 10 minutes and then slept the rest of the time!

I did in the beginning, but I don't now. My boys get along great and don't fight, so I'm lucky. I'm also lucky that I rarely have to leave mine alone, and when I do, it's for very short times. I work eves and my hubby works days, so someone is always home. I have been off work ill for awhile, so I am always home these days. If I have to leave for longer periods or if I'm in and out of the hospital, my daughter comes and stays with them for us.

I gate all 3 of them in the kitchen together. I get comfort when I am gone knowing they are together. Even though two of them fight when I am there, they are fine when we are gone. Cant trust any of them to roam the house...they all have problems with peeing and pooing even though none of them still should.

I have 3, 1 male Artie, the Father, he's 4 yrs. old and 2 females, Abigail is the Mother and she's 3 yrs. old, Tiffany Aloha is their daughter she's almost 2 yrs. old. All 3 of them have full run of my House. I am usually with them most of the time except when I go to work-partime @ night, 3 times a week.
At one time I had 5, 3 of them being Puppies I crated all 3 of them b/c I did'nt
trust them and I felt better knowing that they were safe and locked up. I have always left Artie & Abigail out, and crated Tiffany until she was fully Trained. I don't worry about them when I am gone b/c I know they are well behaved and Trained as well as Socialized. They are a Family so they never fight in any way.....they never have since they all get along with each other.
Luckily they were never destructive, except for their "Teething Phase". They do have alot of "Private Places", a couple of cubbie holes or caves? I still have their crates out and open for them to use, but they are never locked in there. I do beleive in Crate Training, but I don't believe a Dog should spend alot of time in one. I have a really good relationship with all 3 of them seperately as well as together as a Pack.

(I dont let anyone out in the yard unless Im with them. I have to keep Toby and Dakota separated because they get into it sometimes. (much better now that everyone is fixed) but I dont want to take any chances. Shilo and Toby are just a few days apart and have grown up together so they are like twins, they do everything together.

ohh you have 7????? i wish!! hehe hubby wont let me but slowly im winning got 2. muahaha

Kaysi and my bigger dogs have the run of my studio but Cody stays in his pen that I built. He's very tiny so I don't want to risk him getting hurt while I'm gone.

Since I am a stay at home Mom I get to be with my babies everyday all day unless I need to run and errand or two. When I do leave them I let Cricket have free run of the house...she is such a good girl...no accidents ever! Now Paxton....he is my little stinker! I put him in his crate for his own safety and to help with his potty training. He is an excellent little hiker!

[katelin]

Since the puppies, everyone gets crated. Jersey and Bizzy together, Ruby with her puppies and Coco with her puppies. They all use the dog door, but they drag in SO much stuff. Twigs, leaves, little pieces of bark. Also it is just safer to crate them.

You'll be able to tell whether they can be left alone together. Even if their crates are right by each other, it will provide some company for them. Err on the side of safety.

[Ryd&TucMom]

The Yorkies are in a playpen when we go out and the cat usually supervises them ! Kandi , the cocker is in her room usually sleeping in her kennel . Kandi can't be left out as she has been known to get into cupboards and eat whatever she can ......... and " the boys " don't need to be taught any more " bad " habits !

Dennis was a 1 ½ when I got Sahara. Dennis spent the first 6 months or so in the safe room (Bathroom) when I went shopping but always had the run of the house when I was here. When sahara arrived she had the safe room till such time as I was convinced she would be safe with Dennis, stairs, wires, and such which took about 9 months. I now leave them both together and they sit in the window till I come back. Yorkies are funny they won’t even eat till I get back.

I love them both, however I would have rather just had 1 at a time because it is impossible to take two anywhere and just walking them is difficult, as they want to go in different directions not to mention I worry about keeping them both safe. So good luck with your decision.

I have two and they both share a crate. They each have their own but prefer to stay together!!!
