I think it's very important for each dog to have alone time. They should be able to function without each other.
A close friend just got a second dog and they were getting too "obsessed" with each other at daycare. So she started bringing them on separate days.
I also have seen people at the dog park who have littermates and they will bring one up for 30 minutes, take that one home, come back up with the other one... just to give them time without each other. Makes perfect sense. Doesn't mean they're supposed to be separated all the time... but it wouldn't be a bad idea to take them to training classes individually.
However, about the grieving thing, I don't agree with that reasoning. But I think taking them to their own training classes may be beneficial. |
I agree with you. This thread made me sad thinking about mine and how one would be without the other I hadnt really put thought to it and mine get very little alone time so maybe I need to do something about that
