My two pups are now 15 weeks old. Ever since I got them at 9 weeks, they have been staying in the same kennel together!

Its been only about a week and half since i have seperated them, but had to let them roam around free together for the past 3 days as I am building two seperate kennels for them.

The strange think is, that i have been training them speperately, and together from time to time. And i have had absolutely no problem ( even from the very first day )

Contrary to what Ed Frwaley states, the two dogs are bonded closely together in a good way, they dont fool around much when i let them out together, they just jump around for about a minute, then settle down and chew on their rib bones and quietly observe everything around them!

Now here's the strange part, I admit that i have not given them enough training and that they have been together most of the time, but...

When i train one pup, the other one doesnt distract, does NOT interfere and does not bother us. And that goes for both the pups.

When I call "Lola".. only Lola gets up and comes, and the same goes to the other pup!!!

Its as if they are independently programmed of each other!

My question, should I still seperate them. The only time they get excited and become doggy is around me! And thats if i make a big fuss when i see them everyday! Or when i wanna group hug!

I think i need to get my priorities set straight! I dont exactly need them for personal protection, nor are they full time pets!!!!

What do you train?
How do you train?
How long is your training session?
Why is the other pup present at the trainings session?
I think this is not a good idea because whenever you need to correct the one you train either verbal or phisical it will have an impact on the other one.
The only thing I can made of this is that the training must not be fun for the dogs. If training would be fun I would imagine that none of them would like to miss out. I cannot imagine that when you throw a ball for example that the other one can sit still and watch.

Ahmed. This is the last post I will allow on you and your two pups. I have offered my advisae in a private email and in a couple of posts on this web baord. If you wish to stick your head in the sand about the correct way to raise and train dogs you can do it in someon elses sand box.

You obviously did not read the article I wrote (and told you to read about) thats in my list of training articles on WHY ITS A BAD IDEA TO RAISE TWO PUPS AT ONE TIME.

The fact is you were given good advise. If you wish to ignore it - do it someplace else. This thread is closed.
