Sophia and Brody have been in obedience classes, and the instructor separated Sophia and Brody. They ended up across the room staring and barking at eachother the WHOLE class
. Anyway, at the end of class she pointed out our dogs and asked whether or not they are ever apart, and we said not really. She said that they need a decent amount of time apart from each other. Because when one dog passes, the other dog can pass because of grief. Sophia and Brody have a great bond and hate being apart, but I never really thought of it as a bad thing. Do your dogs get individual time or are they always together? Now I'm just discouraged and don't want to go back to class!
