Since I dont allow pets inside the house, my pups are stricly for outside only! So I initially built them a large 2m x 3m cage in the garden.
As it became obvious to me ( after being made aware of this by some dear members of this forum ) that it was important to seperate the two to make training easier and successful!
The best I could do at this moment was partition the cage into two units and built another access point on the other side.
However, although they dont see each other, they are right next to each other. Is this good enough for now, or do I need to do anything else?
As I am moving into my new home in about 4 months time, i dont wanna invest in building a setup now, however, i do realise how important this period is in the growth of these pups!
Any ideas about what else I can do for them as far as housing them is concerned?

Maybe no one on the board has a clear picture of these "cages" in their minds. I know my own mental picture is not good.

We have a couple of awesome "puppy pens/cages/call them what you like" 8'x4'x2' - we keep them right outside out back door where we can keep an eye on them. They have a built in sleeping box and are PERFECT size for the pups when they are too small to go out in the big kennels.
Let me rephrase it in a way that wont upset people! Its a 2 meter depth by 3 meter wide by 1.5 meters high shed ( covered, ventilated on three sides to allow fresh air tp pass through.. i cannot aircondition the shed as our weather is humid and hot most of the year around and that for sure would kill my dogs )
Yes, its been split into two for the tmie being as I am moving soon, and they are only 14 weeks old!
I just dont understand how "crates" are acceptable, but a 2 meter by 3 meter by 1.5 meter confined area is NOT???
Here's the real question though... is it OK if they can sense and hear each other? They cannot see each other!
it is fine that they are close and that they can hear or smell each other. Seperation is only so that they do not bond so much that they become "doggy" and preferring the company of themselves to the company of humans.
