I raise Boxers and I have a female that just can't seem to get along with the others. How can I help her to become part of the pack or to just get along?

Pack structure and how to live with a dog in your home are the first issues to deal with whenever you add a new dog to your family or have problems with an existing dog. We are taking orders for a new DVD that extensively covers the way Ed and I live with dogs in our home. It is called Establishing Pack Structure with the Family Pet.

We also have a directory of information specifically for people with multiple dogs. This directory will guide you to articles and videos that can help you.

In the meantime, keep the female separate from your other dogs. Until you have control of every member of your pack, you should not be allowing them any contact with each other. Realize that while working with all your dogs may help, some dogs are never comfortable around other dogs or specific dogs. Only with time and pack structure training with ALL of them will you know how well she will be incorporated into the pack.
