Well it seems that we have done the wrong thing and have purchased 2 puppies, both male, from the same litter.
Seemed OK to us, puppy preschool or the vet never said anything was wrong with that.
Trying to get them into obedience training and finally found one and spoke to the "lady". Well, I got the biggest serve about how we have bought a pack of dogs now, and you never get two together. Get one dog, train it up and then get another. On and on blah blah blah.
No prizes for guessing where I am NOT taking the dogs now.
Our biggest problem with them is that they jump up and one of them nips the kids clothes and puts holes in them (grrr). They sit on command. They are pretty useless to walk with separate handlers, as they both want to be the leader but they are good boys and know to sit while waiting to cross a road. They walk well when connected with a single lead, but still pull. (Good tow when walking up hills).
I am trying to find another dog trainer but in the meantime, I would love to hear from someone who had 2 puppies and kept their sanity intact with the training or some advice on training would be appreciated.
