Seven months!!! I was thinkin of 10-12 wk pups. But, fwiw, what I do w/those who don't seem to get the picture: I take them out for 10 mins, if they produce, I throw a big party and we get a good game going. If they fail to produce, they go back into their crates for another 1/2 hr and repeat the process after the 1/2 of crate time is over. What the pups figure out (pretty quickly) is that: if I do potty outside, great things happen. If I goof around, I get nothing but back in my crate <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Puppy logic, you gotta love it.
I wasn't clear enough in my post. At 7 months, he is fine. I really meant when he was much younger. Even now though he still sometimes will wait for me to come out halfway into the yard with him. He is just a fun lovin' goofball!
MyGSD,
Joy brings up a good point about giving a time limit. 10 minutes, times up and try 1/2 hour later. For housebreaking, I can see doing them together. If you end up keeping them both, for obedience, definately train them seperately. Make sure they bond to YOU first before they bond to each other and become, as Ed would say, too "doggy".
Oh, absolutely on the not training pups together for obed!! I don't ever even recommend raising 2 pups together, ie littermates. You are correct, they do get too doggy, they are so obsessed w/each other, they don't bond right w/humans.
Yeah, my GSDs go berserk if they even *suspect* I may be heading for outside, ie p/u my sunglasses and all heck breaks loose. A whole new interesting set of problems now that we have our own Sch field, which is fenced separately, but is contiguous w/our yard . . .
