the single puppy is really getting fat so I think he needs more exercise. I have been putting him, in with the other litter for short periods of time but he goes off alone and sleeps.

I'm also trying to shorten the amount of time that mom spends with him so he doesn't eat so much. She is very devoted to him and wants to be with him most of the time. the other mother goes in and feeds them, then wants back out again.

Any suggestions?

How old is the puppy?
