Any Advice????

hornblower said...

Um, nothing helpful, I'm afraid. First advice is to not get two puppies at once.......
See? How unhelpful is that?

WAIT - I do have something helpful:

click on Training Textbook in the center & read it all. Can't go wrong with Ian Dunbar's advice.

Ian did a TED talk which obliquely disses the tv trainer phenomenon & 'dominance'.

have fun with the pups!

So very cute. You're a brave woman.

Jenn,
The advantage to two is that I don't constantly have to play with them to keep them busy.
We'll have to see if brave becomes another name for stupid down the road :)
I am however, seeing the difference between our first (now dead) dog who was born into a 'family' situation (Mom was AKC Springer Spaniel. Dad was one of two labs that managed to jump the fence!) and ones from a shelter, no matter how good the shelter.
