Welcome to YT! Congratulations for your new addition to the family. Bogart and Jackson -- great names. I'm sure Brit and her Jackson will be honored.
Regarding the barking and growling during playtime, I wouldn't use the coins in the can. As you wrote, that might confuse the puppy and possibly excite Bogart more. Try a calm, assertive "Hey!" or "Ah, ah, ah!" to get Bogart's attention.
I would supervise playtime closely for awhile and maybe sit on the floor with the two of them. Use toys or trick training (Brit's expertise) to focus the boys and encourage calmer interaction and play. |
