Yes, the play is noisy (which sort of bothered me) but I asked the vet and read some research that said that they can can get loud but young puppies pretty much cannot harm each other. Also at this young age they will work it out and be fine later. The nurse at our vet clinic breeds yorkies and I consulted her when I first got Lola. She has been with both pups and she says they will be the best of friends. The vet said short of drawing blood leave them to work it out. The trainer says that is incorrect and that there is proper play. No taking toys and hiding them. etc. I got Lola from the same breeder and she helped me decide which pup might fit best in our family. I will admit Lily is a little "snarky" and Lola is kind of shy but we figured that might be the best for both. I don't think he saw anything that the pups were doing to make him go off. He just came in and sat down and the 1st thing out of his mouth was take her back. We were thinking that part of the problem was that he is so used to solving big behavior problems that when none were present he decided to make some. I don't like using too much force. I think you can be forceful in a more humane manner. He said he doesn't even talk to his dogs because they don;t understand words anyway. Strictly body language. Oh he said he doesn't buy the tracheal situation, said he never heard of such. |
