Default Hey Folks!

We own a 2 year old, 13 pound yorkie/silkie mix named Bogart.

Last week we brought home number 2 son, a 12 week old yorkie. The posts here helped ease our apprehensions against getting a second yorkie.

It's been a blast! Bogart is a submissive, playfull and social dog, so he's adjusted to the new puppy very well. He plays a little too rough sometimes, so I have to break it up often.

Bogart's barking during play is really bad. I'm going to try the coins-in-a-can trick mentioned in another thread here.
(How will correcting one dog like that effect the other? Will the puppy think he's being corrected for play, or doing nothing wrong?)

It's becoming clear that both of these pups are going to need more than just the bare basics of obedience training, or they are going to gang up to take over the house.


Britster, you should know that my wife and I love Jackson's youtube channel. We also loved the name Jackson, so your Jackson has a namesake in Ohio. We didn't mean to be copycats, but Jackson was the only name on both of our "possible puppy names" list. (He was Jasper for half a day, but we changed our minds)
