Anyone with multiple Yorkies! :)

I always had one dog at a time until I got Cali almost 3 years ago as an 9 week old puppy. At the time my pom was 8. Then a year later I added Pixie who was 13 months when I got her but not potty trained and then almost another year later I added Dixie who sadly passed away after 5 weeks and then I got Roxie 5 months ago who is 9 months now. So I have been potty training quite a bit. But I love it, they play with each other and entertain me with their antics.

We were a family of 3 Yorkies, had a litter of 7 and keeping 2 of them. My main concern is jealousy. How can i make sure none of my older 3 get jealous of the new babies?

Spend lots of one on one time with the older ones. I know this is hard to do when you have sweet playful babies, but he older ones need attention also. Always feed the older ones first, make them first in everything, first to be greeted and pet when you go out and return home. First to be fussed over when you wake in the morning.
I had a pack of 3 girls, now all passed, all were 3 years apart. There was never jealousy between any of them.
Enjoy your new babies, puppies are soooo much fun.

I always have multiples. I encourage them to be good to one another and if one is especially rough with another I stop it immediately. Right now I have six plus my fosters and have a really nice crew. If you have a particular problem feel free to message me.

I run a tight ship. They all know what to expect....feeding time, going out, playing, going to bed.......everything has a schedule. My pups do really well but it it expected. I let one play mom as it makes her happy. If I am looking for a another I ask her where the pup is and thank her for helping. Try to give them all their place...what makes them happy.

If I think on is getting jealous, I pet her at the same time I am petting a another. A lot of it is just being tuned i n to each pup.

Good luck!

I have four and have for several years. I try to give everyone 30 minutes of alone time at least every other day if not everyday. We do training, play or dog puzzles. At different times of the day different ones will sit with me or come over and ask for a bit of attention. You have to make sure your older 3 all still get lots of attention. There can be issues with your dogs being intact so you might want to look at getting the older ones spayed and neutered and then the 2 pups around 6 months or so.

I had 2 till this past year . They say pair up opposites they are less likely to fight . I had 2 females 17 months apart . What fun but twice the work and expense .
