Often dog owners wonder if having two dogs is better than one. The truth is if you plan to leave your dog during the day while you are at work, it may be better to have two so that they can keep each other company. While all dogs prefer to be with their owners, having two dogs is a way to keep them occupied when you are out. Moreover, it helps them to learn to interact with other dogs so that they know how be well-behaved when it comes to canine interactions.
It may not be a wise idea to adopt a puppy if you have a senior dog because this can cause a lot of tension in the home. The best way is to either adopt two puppies at the same time, or adopt one and get him accustomed to the family and then bring in another puppy. They will keep each other entertained for hours when they are puppies and then grow to be best buddies when they are adults. This way when you are out to work or the family is a way for the day; your dogs can keep each other company so they are not all alone.
