One thing you may want to try it to get the puppies to understand that You control the toys, not them. Instead of leaving all of the toys on the floor at all times, pick a few of them up and then give them to each dog when you decide to. Then pick the toys up again and keep them in your posession for awhile. This shows the dogs (especially the older one) that they are not in control of their toys, you are. This will hopefully help them to shift their focus away from getting toys from each other and instead figure out how to get them from you. Good Luck! |
