Also, I randomly reward good behavior with praise and/or a treat.

Like if two are just laying together being good, I'll choose that moment to tell them they are good dogs, and stop and pet them or give them a Cheerio or two!

Good idea about rewarding them for good behavior. I've been so preoccupied with monitoring their behavior the past week, that I've forgotten that they're just puppies & they're supposed to be having fun! Thanks
