I just bought 2 GSD puppies. They like being in the same crate. Should I allow this?
Full Question:
We have just acquired two 8 week old German Shepard pups, and I wish I had looked at your web site before purchasing 2 pups at the same time. What is the best way to ensure that the pups each get enough attention?Second question... the pups enjoy being in the same crate with each other. Is this a good idea??
Thank you for your advice. I have ordered your videos and can't wait to watch them.
Ed's Answer:
You are correct you made a bad mistake.
These pups should never be allowed to run together or be in the same crate together. If you do this you will never establish a good bond with the dogs and they will never train properly. They become too DOGGIE – which means they look to the other dog as the buddy and not the owner.
Find a new home for one of these dogs. Cut your losses and do it right. If you don’t you will have wasted the money on both dogs.
