The Pack Gallery
Owning a pack is considerably different than owning one or two dogs. At one or two, you are a major part of their pack and they are more likely to look to you for guidance. But once you have 3 or more dogs, it's considerably more difficult to maintain your alpha status. First you have more competition, and secondly, the dogs will bond more strongly to one another and you have to get past this. A stable pack is a beautiful thing...but an unstable pack can be a nightmare. Where you needed control with 2, you need considerably more with 3 and it gets really difficult beyond 4. Structure is the key to a harmony in your large pack. Without it you will live in chaos.
