So glad I happened upon your video. I also have a male and female pair of rescued littermates. I completely agree that they were easy to potty train due to being competitive. I used treat rewards for the basics when they were puppies. I use the e-collar outside since we do not have a fenced in yard. I also use it for off lease walking around our property. It is amazing how responsive they have been. Could you please teach how to stop them from jumping on guests to greet them and how to heel, both on individual walks and when on the tandem leash? They are great once they have greeted the guest by going to their place or calmly roaming around. While walking, they don’t drag me, but they need constant reminders to stay at my side. I am a total novice at dog training, but I get many compliments on their demeanor, especially with little children and other dogs. Being that they are now three year old Boxer Pittie mixes, I want them to be great ambassadors of their breeds in all arenas. The jumping up and walking ahead of me are my biggest frustration. Thanks again!
