Princess was the pup and Scoobers my well he was still barely a dog and not a pup it started out really slowly like I would just go to the mail box in front of the house, and back, just going around the block to get kids from school and back etc. That was about 6 months ago, Scoobers and her can be in the same room or well it's a three room open area, Scoobers can easily jump into and out of her play yard.
However until the last 3 months Princess still goes in the play pen becuase she's a naughty monster whom cannot be trusted not to eat everything-well okay she doesn't eat anything but my shoes-she just gets everything from anywhere and puts it in a pile on the floor in a lil protest because she didn't get to go...she now occasionally can be in the open area without being in her pen...of course I still pick up everything pretty much and leave lots of toys out, my dogs have been together a year.
Elvis cannot stay out with the other dogs-he goes with me everywhere he can or he goes in my room alone (I'll be honest I have left him alone before with them-bad bad choice on my part though) as he has seizures so I don't trust the other dogs to not well be animals...they are much better in reacting the first time Scoobers growled at Elvis and avoided him for days...now he will actually run to me prior to Elvis having a seizure and run to Elvis...no training it's like he can just tell and tries to get help...but he doesn't really want to be close to Elvis still either, no growling or aggression, but still dogs will be dogs. |
