Yes, this is A LOT of work, but potty training in general is, we now just have two. It was a pretty big decision but we just couldn't pass up the opportunity! We love them both and we have some adventurous days ahead I am sure. Thanks for all the advice!

good luck with your new pups, will watch to see other comments on your thoughts of two at the same time to train, I'm sure they will be a lot of company for each other.

Congrats! I think you will be so glad you got him. Sounds like they are already bonding. All of mine started sleeping with me at different ages. I had one that slept with me from day one at nine weeks. Cali and Roxie slept with me at about 5 months because they were pad trained and could get off the bed by the ramp and use the pads.

do it!!!
Getting my second baby was the best decision ever!

And I wish they were puppies together!!

DO IT DO IT!!!!

I'm glad you got him. You will never again be bored for a second! Two puppies playing and learning together is so much fun. BTW, I once had three males and they got along fine together and never once had a fight. Congrats!

Thanks for all the replies!! We are doing good...gets a little hectic at times...but don't all puppies? They absolutely love eachother...yes they are honory together, but I think that is good, to an extent, we watch them to make sure it doesn't get out of hand! Something really exciting though, we went to the vet for Ozzie's check up yesterday and he is 6.4 lbs already!!! (While cooper is 3.3) Haha! Couldn't believe it! The vet also gave us some advice and one thing was to let them sleep together in a crate at night and when we have to leave during the day seperate them. Well we were doing opposite that so last night we put them to bed together in one crate and the whining lasted maybe 20 min and they were done. We actually had to wake them out to take them out at 2:30 and 5. Hilarious! I am so glad they like that better, now I can wait til I really should to put them in bed with us!

Out of curiosity, did he say why to let them sleep together at night but keep them apart during the day when crated?

hbrown0923 · 12-02-2009, 11:34 AM

Yes actually she did. She said that way it is like a "reward" to them to be able to sleep together and not a "Oh I have to be with him again" thing. I don't know, she just said they would sleep together because they would have company and the stress wouldn't be as much. The reason to not keep them together during the day is just because they need to have some "alone" time. This may help them not get too "overly" attached so if in the future something happens to one it is as big of a shock. Now I believe it will be a tremendous shock either way, but we went ahead and tried it today. I don't know? Does it really matter? I have no clue? I just want them to be has comfortable as possible without being loose in the house just yet because they are not potty trained. I hope we are doing the right thing, we are new to this so I guess it is a trial and error for us too. She did tell us to not let them in the bed til they were potty trained

which I knew but hearing it from someone helped because I was always tempted. And like I said they slept great last night so that made me feel better. Hope that helped.

Yes, I find it very interesting because I currently have two four-month-old puppies. I have been keeping them together all the time, not just at nighttime. They do have moments when they fight but I just let them work it out and establish themselves who is the alpha dog (the girl!). Thanks for the info.
