Finding Calm-er Chaos in a Multi-Dog Home

What began as utter chaos—bringing a high-energy, tornado of a dog into our peaceful home—has slowly evolved into something more manageable, more grounded, and always improving.

The Organized Pups was built around our real-life experience raising two rescue dogs: Yenni, a high-drive German Shepherd/Malinois/Husky mix who thrives on enrichment and structure, and Shelly, an energetic but steady GSD who helps us find balance. Life with both isn’t perfect, but it’s workable—and it’s always evolving.

This resource exists for anyone navigating the same terrain: balancing a multi-dog household, adjusting to life with a new pup, or trying to create a more peaceful home with high-energy dogs. We’re not here to teach or train—we’re here to share what’s worked for us, in case it helps you too.

We’re building a community grounded in experience, not instruction. One that grows one day at a time.

Join us as we navigate a Calm-er Chaos.

Calm-er Chaos

Calm-er Chaos—a real-life journey through rescue, loss, and the lessons learned from a high-drive shepherd mix. It’s not a training manual. It’s not a behavior guide. 

It’s a story about navigating the unexpected—bringing balance to a multi-dog household, adjusting to the intensity of a Malinois-Husky-GSD mix, and finding clarity in the chaos. If what we experienced worked for us, maybe it will work for you too.
