I volunteer with a local rescue at adoption events,and this past Saturday, I had a conversation with a Lady that has two dogs that must be kept separately because they don't get along. She seems to be a responsible pet owner and a great lady. She also works full time.
So I got to wondering; if you find yourself in a situation where you own two dogs that have to be separated at all times and you work as well, how do you go about making sure they each have plenty of time exercising and training...and more curiously, time outside a crate? If they are crated during the day, and must be kept separate, how do you divvy out time in the house?
Do any of you have this type of situation, and if so, what's the schedule like?
We had done this with two bitches for five or so years. During the days when we worked either one went to work with me and one stayed home or one went for a long run or outing and the other did the next day.If the kids were willing and able we had each dog out and worn out with exercise each day. At times when people were home we alternated crating or divided the house with each totally separated. No visual of each other, nothing. Honestly it is a PITA and takes basically double or more the time and energy than owning two dogs that could be together. Ours developed with two Border Collies when they were about 5 yrs old each (not sibs but within a month of the same age) So at least they were more or less mellow adults and each had a strong obedience background.
