My reply is probably not very helpful - it is neither easier nor more difficult to train a 2nd pup! What I mean by that is, yes, the eldest will give the pup the idea what to do but I think you have more time to teach a first. Gypsy Rose learnt VERY quickly (she did have an elderly Lhasa Apso brother but he was very laid back and I could dedicate a lot of time to Gypsy). Gizzie Chavi, now 6 months was also quite quick but not like Gypsy and I think, apart from having less time to spend training it also depends on the individual dog. It's a difficult period but so rewarding when they finally get the idea!! |
