He's so mature now, that we're to the point that all we have to do is say, "What did you do?", and he'll roll right over.

So with the new puppy, we're working very hard on verbal commands to deter bad behavior. The problem we're having is that the older dog thinks he's the one in trouble! I feel really badly about that, and don't want it to cause any long term damage to the older dog.

For those of you with multiples, how did you manage training the younger pup, while maintaining the training you've done with your older?

Great Question!!!!
I have the same problem, so I am going to watch for an answer as well ...
Monday is going to be 5 next Sunday and Friday is just 10 months old ....
