Thanks for watching "Littermates Tips For Training 2 Puppies At Once". What are your pups' names? How are they getting along?
Your videos are very informative, I have two puppies both almost 5 months old a female golden retriever and a male Cavapoo, I bought two crates and tied them together (now I know big mistake) will start to separate them gradually and follow your video guideline if you have time can you please suggest how I can separate them I think abrupt may have some negative effects
@@mohsenalhawary3616 Oh I'm so glad you watched this video! For more specific questions regarding training, we recommend you post your questions in the Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
Polar and bear and really good ,for puppy's I did think they would be more hard work but so far so good .the clap of hands to stop them works well and one being really good helps lol . personality wise they are so different .one is always after attention(loves walks and people ect ,playing ect and eager to train and the other is laid back and ain't into training but gets it first time (think he watches his brother) but is more shy and will not walk unless I'm in front of him .if I'm behind and someone else is walking he will just lie there till I get Infront .he is also the one who barks if his brother has something he shouldn't
Thank you for asking
Nyx and Argos. They get along well when we give them play time together. Most of the time we interact with them separately. I’m trying to slowly increase the amount of time they have access to each other now that they are 8 months old.
Our Lucy and Alice are 3 months apart. Lucy is our Bernedoodle and Alice is a pyredoodle. They love being together but are content being apart.
It was me! I'm the one whose husband brought home a 7 week old puppy for a birthday surprise on top of our 11 week old puppy! I am still diligently following your videos and keeping up in the Facebook group to do the best we can for the pups. This is by far one of the hardest things I have ever taken on, but we are seeing progress, slowly but surely!
Hello! Glad to hear things are going well.
I did this too. I must be nuts!
Exactly this I had bought an 8 week old malinois and 1 week later my husband comes downstairs with a tiny 8 week old husky puppy, im like are you NUTS! luckily there doing good but we're working in the attachment issues of the husky
I have 2 puppies coming home in 3 weeks. Now I’m nervous
@@1974Crys how did it go?
I told the breeder that I was going to get another puppy and she told me she would not sell me her dog if I did. I couldn’t believe it, So my husband called her to ask her to change her mind ( she knew this was my first dog ). We discussed it and she asked me to wait at least a year. That was the best advice. I am very glad she did that.
We are glad to hear that you decided to wait! That was good advice.
I am glad u got a good breeder. My breeder encouraged me buy two littermate puppies brother and sister. I love my pups but the breeder didn't even warn me about the heavy workload.
I’m first time owner got two puppy same litter I tired already
Wish I would have known how depressed a puppy would make me. Everything looks so great on TH-cam Can't imagine having two lol
Here are our best tips for Puppy Blues: th-cam.com/video/9frdWEfDHAg/w-d-xo.html
All of it was great information, learned alot! I was considering getting 2 puppies, not littermates, but approx 3 months apart in age, same breed, bernedoodles, one now, another in Feb. Based what I learned, will wait on getting the second until next Fall. Thanks!
This is gold, thank you so much for the advice. Sometimes you got to sound like a negative nelly for ten minutes to avoid ten years of heartbreak
We appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!
I took in a (at the time, unknown) pregnant dog, and 2 of the puppies weren't adopted because of health problems, so I decided to just keep them both and I really appreciate this video.
We are happy to help you!
I'm getting 2 Cane Corsos in October and I know it's gonna be a challenge. The crate information you gave me was great. Also training them separately and then bringing them together. New subscriber and love your channel. Thanks
Well you're definitely in the right place to set them up success. Thanks for subscribing!
This was very helpful! I got my Mom a pug puppy and I got a sibling pug puppy.
When visiting together I have been letting them play ( a lot of wrestling) and then given breaks. But they've played too long I see now. About 30 min.
Now I know shorter times playing and then taking a break. I plan on purchasing the training program with the resources. I want the best life for these two.
We're glad that you were able to take away such a valuable lesson from this video!
Thanks!
Wow, thank you Arslene! Thank you for watching to be the best puppy parent ever, your puppy is so lucky to have you. We appreciate you! 🐶❤️
I wish I would have seen this video before we brought home a new puppy, when our other one was only 5 months old. It has been too much. Just the potty training is exhausting. I can’t take them out at the same time because the older pup wants to play with the little one. Those 3am potty breaks with two trips are tough. I have to walk each dog separately also. I am getting more exercise but also taking more time away from everything else. I’m 70 years old. My advice to others, be happy with one puppy and don’t think they need a puppy mate. 😊
Yes, managing two young dogs can be a lot of work. It gets better with time and training! Be sure to recruit others who can help you. Sometimes a dog walker a few times a week can be a lifesaver!
We have 2 Havanese 1/2 brothers a month apart in age. Desi is 14 weeks and Bongo is 10 weeks. We had Desi for 6 weeks before getting Bongo and he was doing great. Now Desi's training has regressed and I realize after seeing this that we may have tried to integrate them too quickly. That was the best tip I got from this training.
Good for you for realizing this! Once the new pup comes into the picture we have to work more than twice as much to give them both the separate time for training.
Great information! I wish I saw this four years ago! I have had single dogs in the past that I trained and I thought rescuing these 4-mos old litter mates would be fun. Four years later, I have failed big time and it is obvious--it was too time consuming for me to train/walk/socialize them individually and so I gave up very soon afterwards. I let them have free-range exercise on 2.5 acres with an invisible fence. It is embarrassing how they charge the fence to go after neighbor dogs, they will respond on occasion while at the fence, but I wish I could train them to stop that behavior--obviously trying because I'm watching this video! I would never get dogs close in age again--definitely one at a time to train and to be an example to the next one. : (
These things happen! What's important is that you are growing and learning, and seem to have your dogs' best interest in mind. We are rooting for you!
I did put two dogs in the same crate and you are right, not a good idea! They are 15 and 13 and not going to separate them now, and don’t know what it will be like when I loose one. With getting our new puppy next month, he will definitely be in his own crate.
We just got 2 siblings male and female very excited about this until I heard about sibling syndrome angel which really does scare me. After listening to your video I feel there's hope we have already purchased the puppies and committed to them I am retired and will do everything to enforce the separation separate kennels separate socialization separate walks separate feedings etc The information you have provided has been excellent thank you so much I am hoping I will be able to give these puppies what they need what they need to develop their individuality. Any loving caring home

Well, I wish I had seen this video about 2 weeks ago.... unfortunately, I did not do my research. We are already in love with our twin girl Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix 12 week old puppies.... So, it seems it will be much harder now to re-train them. I have had them in the same crate (as the previous owner), and now regret all we have done. JR's are inherently aggressive dogs anyway, so I hope I can get them under control. They are precious, but also different personalities and very jealous of each other. They constantly fight over everything - toys, food, treats, space, playtime, everything. They sleep together, but it usually starts out that they are fighting over something. Sounds like they are playing, but then it gets vicious. I will have to start over with separate crates, eating and playing time and so much more. Thank you for your video; I didn't know what we were doing was really bad.
It's never too late to get started and make some changes! We're so glad you found this video and can adjust your schedule and life to raise these girls together. You got this!
Hi, Thx 4 this. I found covering them up at night hopefully will help. We have brother/sister littermates. We already started a lot of what you mentioned 2 days after they got home.
Wonderful! We are glad to hear that this video helped you! Keep up the good work.
I learned so much & wish I would’ve known this a year ago! They are litter mates. They get along very well but have very different temperaments. One has been shy from day one & the other loves attention. Crating them separately & even in different rooms possibly was my favorite point. What you said makes perfect sense. Thank you so much!
You are welcome! Stay tuned!
We have litter mates and so far so good. We have different crates
You suggest this video for me greatly appreciate it thank you
We are happy to help you!
I just found 6 puppies and I kept two. They are about 8 weeks old maybe less (vet appointment on Tuesday) but I bought them one crate! 🤦🏻♀️ I'm so dumb ugh I will get them another one ASAP.
Thanks for your video now I'm going to take one outside each evening and work on training!!! Thank you so much
You're not dumb! We are all learning and growing along this journey. You've got this!
she is on point in this subject... experience dont lie.. i had littermates before, it went from wanting nice chill loving pets to full time job trying to keep the peace in the house. now i only have one dog because life is much easier this way.
You're right! Littermates can be a full-time job!
I brought a 7 week old German Shepard home, and a week later, brought home a 7 week old cane corso😂my GSD got sick and we had to put her to sleep, but I think this is the best time to get another puppy since my corso is 1 now and already trained, so I can focus on training my new puppy and training them together since their both are gonna be male
we have 3 month old English bulldog brothers. I did not know about littermate syndrome at the time. They do have their own crates, own feeding time, individual and group play with naps after. I do spend about 5 min training each pup as their attention span isn't that long yet lol ! I did not know about having separate pens inside my home. That will start today. Thank you! I do notice that when they are playing outside together that they don't listen as well. One does listen better than the other lol
It sounds like you got off to a good start with the separate crates, feedings and play times! Kudos to you! We hope this video was helpful.

me and my brother want to get aussie shepherd siblings at the same time from the same litter so this video was very helpfull
We are glad you liked it. If your brother and you live apart, this would be a great situation for your puppies - a chance to see each other but not worry about the unhealthy bond that can be created in some cases.
We are a few months into owning littermates....its so much work lol but due to covid and me losing my job, it is actually possible to train both, as we are both home constantly now. But omw its definitely been a lot of energy, but we have done the best we can and its brought so much joy to us (keep in mind we are in our late twenties/going to 30, he works remote and I was jobless, now also have a remote job and both of us are equally invested in spending a lot of time with them and teaching them properly).
With the right environment and dedicated, responsible owners, it is definitely possible to make it work!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog I would also like to mention that potty training was so difficult. Its impossible to keep an eye on both's potty habits at all times. SO people need to be ready for that ha.
How did it end up going?? :)
Have 2 yellow lab sisters - not by choice...my father-in-law couldn't handle the training and dumped the other pup on us, sigh, doing the best I can, but your video about separate training is SO right on! Walks are very difficult 😕
Sorry to hear that
Hey! My lab had a litter of 12 and I still have a few left and I think I’m going to be keeping two of the girls since finding a lot of good homes has been hard, after two years how is it been with two labrador sisters?
I have an 8 month old Yorkie. She will be 10 months old when we introduce her Yorkie sister to our home. 😅
Thank you for sharing this info!
You are welcome! We hope it was full of some helpful tips! Here is another great video on introducing a new puppy to your other pets that may have some additional helpful tips: th-cam.com/video/RDKKyCTdX4I/w-d-xo.html
My parents did this…2 puppies 6 months apart. The 2nd puppy couldn’t be apart. Thankfully they didn’t need to be apart much, but it was heartbreaking m. The both lived to be 16 & 17 years old
The comments about separate crates were most helpful to me because we had the brothers in one crate up until a couple of days ago. I understand now that that wasn’t a good idea. 🥴
We are so glad this was helpful!
Oh my God thank you so much I hope he having mess this up already
It's never too late to get started - Kudos to you for learning! We'd love to see you and your pups in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon FB Group! You can ask questions and connect with other pet parents going through the same thing. howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
So, I actually already have my two puppies… and then I found your video (THANK GOD) is there still hope for me? I’ve been with them for 72 hours, and a lot of the behaviors you mentioned are being exhibited by them… biting, fighting, etc. I did have them in the same crate, but I’m LITERALLY on my way to Walmart to pick up a second one!! Oh boy, just hope I made the right decision 😰😰
Hope is not lost! As you said, you're already making some changes. You definitely have a complex few months up ahead, and with that being said you will benefit from the pro-level of our online course, 30 Days to Puppy Perfection:

Currently, we have 3 other students who all have littermates in their home! Together we work through specific issues that they are facing and troubleshoot any roadblocks they run into during training. We hope to see you there soon!
I have two puppies, not by choice coz the other was a surprise. they are only a month apart. they get along well most of the time but the female puppy gets more territorial of her bowl and stuff, I started to separate their spaces now like you said and i let them off the leash to interact and play with each for a few minutes every now and then, while i supervise. I’ll be watching more of your videos and keeping tabs on your youtube since this has been a lot of help for me. I really appreciate what you are doing. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! We are so glad this video was helpful for you!

What has helped you the most? I also brought home 2 sisters, 10weeks old.
How’s this going for you? I just bought two American bully brothers. 7 weeks.
@@KTBTVHD we returned one of our pups a week later… it was too difficult/stressful to do everything separately and keep them apart. We decided they would each live happier lives as only pups.
I got litter mates 4 yrs ago, and they were awesome. But they did have too strong of a bond. One had medical issues and passed away at 2 yrs old. The other hasnt been the same since. The litter mates I got this time, I keep separated more. They are trying to get my older dog to play, and absolutely love the cats. I think they will be fine. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to work with them. You have very informative videos. I was wondering if I might be doing the wrong thing by training them separately and letting them spend time apart. Thanks.
We are so glad you enjoyed the video, Emma. Sounds like you're doing a great job of helping your two pups avoid an unhealthy bond with each other.
I'm glad I saw this night before I brought 2 dogs home.
We hope it gave some great tips! Make sure to give our other littermate video a watch too: th-cam.com/video/x3nefq0CeyU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7IgA_W4d8aGee5zz
I decided to buy a little 6 week old puppy….My dad couldn’t resist and now we have 2 brother and sister puppies that are 6 weeks old
It's great that you're watching this video to get good tips on raising them.
How’s it going for you?
Same here. I have brother and sister 7 week old puppies. Omg, I didn't think it through very well - about them being so dependent on each other, and training individually.
Hi,
We were told Harley and Sameen are littermates of 6 and the shiest. They were perfect in the crate for the ride home. Once home they would wander outside together following each other every where; but now they are becoming a bit more independent investigating and playing on their own. They have their own food bowls but keep changing bowls. IT is funny if you put down ONLY one bowl they get aggressive but if you put down two bowls they are good but insist on eating together out of the same bowl.
These two are little like Feta. Harley whined the first night for maybe 5 minutes if that then they slept thru the night. They are really great at bedtime go right in and lay down. Harley is good until 6am or if he hears my voice then its a little whinny howl. At first they would sleep on top of each other but recently they sleep close to each other but in their own spot. I would say they are getting more confident. They have a large kennel and a play pen attached.
While I am at work they are outside with my husband or in their kennel playpen. When they get tired they lay down and nap. I know their nap times even though I am only there all day on weekends. Even though my husband is home with them all day they are more bonded with me. But then I get on the floor and play and love on them and hold them and feed them. They are learning quiet time - if they want to sit with me in the recliner.
Potty Training is another issue. Sameen most of the time goes within 15 minutes Harley may not go until he steps foot in the house. 30 minutes outside usually is good for both of them. Sameen has obvious signs - she actually turns around in circles right before going poo. Harley is the hard one. Of course he is too young to hike the leg so you don't know if he is just standing there or peeing. He travels when he poos. He is very private on his poo. Doesn't like anyone watching. My border collie was that way too.
We are starting on the collar and leash - I am going to introduce it like you showed.
Harley knows his long name - Harley Davidson - that's when he goes outside his allowed area.
Sameen is doing better with her name.
When I hold each of them I keep whispering his or her name in the ear.
Thanks for all the videos !
Sounds like you're doing great, paying close attention to their patterns! Well done! Just be sure they are sleeping in separate crates, for safety and for establishing independence.
Hello Michelle, Thank you for your channel! How can i buy your online course? I have two 13wk old Chihuahuas and could use some help. Im familiar with positive training often helping others but i need some insight and proper information to ensure both are obediannt and mentally stable, lol

Thanks for watching! Yes you can. Always just make sure you're monitoring them and adjusting training accordingly!

I bought another Great Pyrenees because my little girl had a injured back leg and we spent our first weekend traumatized. She was panting and would not even pee standing up. When I went back to the breeder to ask for some of my money back i ended up buying her brother. She was instantly cured! Now I ama bit overwhelmed. Listening and hoping to learn.

I have 1 year old littermates, 1 boy 1 girl. German shepherd lab mix. Separate walks and separate pet store trips will greatly help anyone with 2 dogs. The biggest issue i’ve face is separation anxiety, whether it be with myself and my wife, or the dogs together. At first had issues with aggression against other dogs when the litter mates are together as they’re rescues, but cowardly behavior alone. They will play until one is tired, then you have to stop the more night sturng one if needed. Only time mine get tough together is when they get let out the door without being checked. Make them sit when they get out of the crate. Make them sit before they go outside. Use sit and other commands as a check to ensure they’re listening, and even then you may not be saved 😂
It’s a lot of working raising two puppies, but i couldn’t see it any other way. If you have the patience, time, and can determine / search for what each dog needs you’ll be more than happy, and so will they.
Great attitude to remember and kudos to the great work you've put in with your two fur babies! Check out this recent video on separation anxiety: th-cam.com/video/2gSQe2hTrE4/w-d-xo.html
I have two puppies(littermates). My husband surprised me with them.... actually traded in the girl dog cause she was too aggressive with another girl dog. We had another dog, and he passed away 7 months ago... he was only 5 years old, and we always regretted not getting another dog for him to have around. I never had a puppy and never raised one before, so I'm extremely scared they won't get a bond with me since they have each other. They are 2 months and 3 days old born on October 17th. I have them in the same room with their cages 2 feet apart and the blanket draping... I do see some aggressive play because they get too hyper, but overall, they do quite well together. They both are actually quite chill... the boy dog is very calm and the girl dog is calm but more energetic. I've had the boy dog for over a week and the girl dog for 3 days now since trading in the other girl dog. My main concern is the schedule... making sure I get one on one time with the dogs and slowly changing their napping schedules so they won't be on the same schedule.. I guess? The dogs tend to not listen to me 80% of the time, but since their 8 weeks old, I'm hoping I still have time to make sure I separate them and play/bond with them separately. How long should they be sleeping for during the day? And how long should they be allowed to play together throughout the day?? I most likely will sign them up to some training courses and will sign them up for a socializing training/day care center.
These are great questions and it's great that you are paying attention to their schedule. We have a NEW mini course that you will love. It's all about the schedule and it'll give you some amazing sample schedules that you can use to build a great one of your own. You can learn about wake windows and how much they should be sleeping (a lot!) and how to make the schedule work with yours. You'll love it! courses.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-schedule-mini-course
We whelped 7 Yorkies at once, and I’m really hoping we can keep two of them, but I know it’s going to be hard
You got this! We hope this video was helpful and full of great tips.
I have 2 chihuahua puppies that are 3,5 months old from the same litter (I am the breeder) and their mother who is 3 years old and an other that is 9 years old. All 4 is chihuahuas. Have been looking for tips on how to train two puppies at the same time so thank you ❤ The mother of the puppies is always trying to play with the puppies and I find it quite stressful for everyone, any ideas on how I can calm her down around the puppies?
The mother should not be involved in each pup's individual training. Try to separate them for training by managing the environment with baby gates and taking them out separately for training.
We just recently got 10 week old Frenchie bulldogs that were born in the same sack brothers. They are so attached together. We do a lot of activities separate from each other and away from each other. we feed them in different areas and we separate them during the day for a few hours. But when it comes night time bedtime they are inseparable. Is it OK to put them in a crate together they do sleep through the night and do not get up. I’m so grateful for that. Please let me know what you think and thank you so much for all your nice videos.
We do recommend separate crates. Great question though! We're glad this video was helpful.
we went to buy one puppy and brought 2 home. they were 5 months old and kept in a shed. (like to think we had rescued them) they have a fab bond but are very different. Bertie is very excitable on the lead which makes it hard work where Betsy is very good. I have been traing in cage together so will try separate as they rip apart the bedding and drag in the cage cover. I have tried toys kongs ect but will try 2 cages as i want them to be safe. they are happy to sit in cage but as soon as door closes Bertie goes Mad!! i am feeling very disheartened and exhausted and very guilty for leaving them when i need to go out. Thankyou for your advise.
We are pleased this video has given you some important information about raising littermates. If you need additional guidance, consider the PRO level of our online course, which can support you and those two cuties!

I knew that having two puppies at the same time will be complicated, but when I went to pick up a puppy the lady practically begged me to take the second one she has left, cause she can't afford vaccines and care [she swears that she was going to neither her dogs this time]. So I give in and now I have two little pitbull mix potatoes that [I am very glad for it] are pretty chill compared to other dogs I used to have. Since they both were under treatment for low weight and parasites, I kept them together in a room, sharing an open crate for comfort. They both like some time for themselves without making a fuss over it if there is a human around to play with. This week I will start putting them on separated crates in the same room so they can take naps and chew their toys without fighting over space. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
Im eager to hear how it went for you to start putting them into separate crates? We have two male littermates, miniature poodles. We got them at 8 weeks old and they are now about 13 weeks. Really it's going pretty well. One usually whimpers now when he needs to go out and we take them both at the same time. We do give them time apart during the day (we're retired) and they do well with that. They get along really well, they do wrestle and rough house but not overly much and only occasionally will we hear that one of them got to rough. They are very well socialized, too, and see other dogs when we see our kids. However, we have had them in the same crate, which has been fine, but now maybe should try to separate them after watching this video? I'm a bit fearful of trying that, bc everything has gone so well!
@@lesliesand6558 in the same boat lemme know how it goes so i can learn from it!
Does this pen slide around? Should I have this set up for each pup and if so, when would they be able to get together and play?
The pen we recommend is heavy enough that it doesn't slide around. Two separate pens are ideal. The pups can play together under supervision but it can't last longer than a couple minutes at a time.
My sister and I might be getting two puppies from my aunt’s dogs. They are small puppies with small sized parents
Well you're in the right place! :)
I’m raising littermates. They are separated by their crates, training, sessions, walks, you name it. How long should the separation be? When can they start integrating their lives together?
There's not a simply answer to that. It will depend a lot on their behavior apart, and also together. We can guide you through this on a more personalized basis at the PRO level of our online course. www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/
We are two 75+ year old seniors who just adopted 2 Maltipoo’s at 5 months old! They are so precious, love us, but OMG?? Can we train and handle them ??

Day 5 w our new pups. Our two Aussies are a month apart. I had zero knowledge of “littermate syndrome” nevertheless have any dog experience (first time pet owners) we couldn’t decide on which puppy to take home- we gave in and brought home the two pups. The first three nights I had them in the same crate, once I learned about littermate, I separated them but my youngest pup cries all night. She’s fine during the day in a diff room in the house, but night time she cries. Last night, we moved her crate next to the other pup and she slept like a baby. I’m going to try that again tonight, but little by little I’m going to move her further and further. What do you recommend? Pls help this first time dog parents

I’ll have a 17 month old newf snd an eight week in sept.
I have to admit I don’t think it’s gonna be easy😬 he gets very excited easily!. He’s not crated but we plan on it for her safety. So should we put him a room apart from her? Or can we just use a cover?
It depends on the dogs. Some do well with just the crate cover, and some need that further separation.
I wish I had found this video before my husband talked me into getting another puppy from the same litter both 4 months old. I have the first one housebroken in a week. 2 weeks later we got the second and potty training for number 2 isnt going well. We have 10 acres of property but I wanted the dogs inside at night. Now the puppies have been together almost a week and they're separated. Husband doesn't want to help much so I'm doing all the work. Hopefully it does work and all goes well. 🙏
We are wishing you the best of luck at this time! We know it can't be easy for you.
How’d it go?
When you say to give pause in play, is that like having them sit/stay or do other training with you, or separating them completely again?
It could be any of the three! It depends on how comfortable they are cooling down in the same room.
Twins for me two puppies because I want them to fit into the already dynamic pack of two older dogs !
We hope this video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
So I have two new puppies and I'm able to train them pretty easily and they both are very independent of each other despite being from the same litter. They also play very well with each other and instantly stop when I tell them to. They are very good in new spaces and love to meet people and explore separately. They also motivate each other to do positive things. For example, I taught one of my dogs cora to go upstairs and she loves to do it now but my boy milo doesn't like it too much, but when he saw me and her go up he came up too and now he can go upstairs completely alone while Cora is downstairs chilling with a toy. All I want to know is if it will stay this way or will they become demons later in life?🤣
There is no way you can predict how things will go! However, it sounds like things are going well. Stay tuned to our channel and keep up the good work. Just be sure to reward the behavior you want to see more of.
Thank you! Your comment calmed my nerves. After watching this training video, I was panicking! We’re picking up our litter mates tomorrow.
❤️ 🐾❤️
Tracey Skaar how is it going? I’m in the same boat!
How did it go??
Going to try keeping them separated now, in 4 walls because one keeps jumping out. My pups are trouble makers together.
Giving each pup their own space and separate time for training is very important. We hope this video was helpful for you!
I’d recommend our online training course, specifically the pro level so you can have the ongoing guidance and support of our certified trainers. Quite a few students who have more than one puppy have benefited greatly from our course.

So I stay with my boyfriend and his family and one of their dogs had puppies, a litter of 4. I'm keeping 2 of them and I'm the one training them but the other two aren't being trained by me, they stay out in the main part of the house with my boyfriends dad and two other dogs they have and aren't really getting the training they should be. My boyfriends parents are doing some training with one of them here and there but the other one isn't really getting any training as well as the two adult dogs not being trained properly. I'm not sure the best way, if there even is one for me to go about training my two or even maybe even my two and the other one that isn't receiving any training until we possibly get her rehomed. One of my puppies I have been training for a few weeks now and the other I just decided to also bring in. I'm hoping to one day be allowed and able to train even their adult dogs but as of right now my boyfriends dad likes things done his way and that for the most part just deals with the dogs being yelled at for stuff and not actually training or correcting the bad behaviors. I hate the way he does thing and its not very affective and seems to cause some temperment issues and fear but as of right now there isn't much i can do. Im hoping once they see how well my dogs behave after being trained that they will open up to the idea of me training the others. If anyone has any advice for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
That sounds like a complicated situation but we applaud you for trying to do the right thing with your puppies. The best thing you can do is be consistent with your training methods and try to keep your puppies away from the boyfriend's dad. They will probably naturally listen to you better anyway, because you have a stronger relationship. This channel will be a huge help to you, or we have a few courses that can guide you as well.

They get me crazy, have not been able to train them to go outside instead of the pads.
It is a lot of work with two, because you'll need to take them each out for potty breaks separately. This free kit will teach you the fundamentals of potty training and how to train them to go outdoors. The first step is removing the pee pads!

We have two older dogs aged 11 and 8 and are introducing two puppies would the two other dogs help distract them from each other
For more specific questions regarding training, we recommend you post your questions in the Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
we got 2 male puppies there is about a 3week age difference the older is a frenchie x staffordshire bull terrier x jack Russel while the younger is supposed to be a full breed cane corso although he is merle so I'm unsure on that. the small one is quite small tiny legs but stocky and the cane corso is 35kg at 6 months I am worried about them being rough but the bigger issue I have is the cane corso has a serious separation issue he won't walk alone and cries whenever the other dog goes out. Is there anything you can recommend for this? they are practically glued together 24/7
Puppies who are raised together can develop an unhealthy dependence upon each other, making any separation from each other extremely difficult for canine and human. We hope this video helped with the questions you have!
I am trying to potty training on the potty pads
I have two pups littermates. They seem to frequently tear up the poddy pads. How to I control this?
This can be a very common issue that puppy owners face when using pads. This is one of the reasons why we recommend using grass patches instead!
Getting a JRT (6-8wks) and an XL American Bully (7wks) the JRT is going to be in the house maybe a week or 2 before the bully (can’t bring her home until 7-8wks) do you think they will be able live together? (Both females)
You may have your hands full, but yes, they can live together! Make sure to watch this video closely and follow the tips for bringing the two pups home together. You can also check out this one for introducing puppies to an older dog, but you can still apply the tips to this situation as well: th-cam.com/video/Ryfg5O6fgAg/w-d-xo.html
I’m getting 2 puppy’s from the same litter, but I’m a little scared for littermate syndrome. I didn’t knew it existed until a few days. I have been doing a lot of research since I know about littermate syndrome so I’ll keep them as seperated as I can. For how long do I need to keep them seperated? Sorry for my bad English by the way.
Keeping them separated except for structured play sessions is a long term arrangement in order to prevent the unhealthy bond that could be created. As they get older the play sessions can be longer but we still recommend that they have separate schedules for training, time with humans, etc.
Ok I need advice I have four 4 month old puppies and I need major help!!! The problem is I have three boys and one girl and the little girl is such a handful!

i have a few questions!
i’m about to get a dog and my sister is also getting a dog in a few weeks and if the owners are different will it cause littermate syndrome?
can i put their crates side by side or should i put them in different rooms?
my sister is getting a 2-3 month old dog, and im getting a 1-2 month old dog, will it also cause littermate syndrome?
and how long should both the dogs socialize with eachother?
please let me know other tips, because we are first time owners! thank youu
Hi! Do you and your sister live together? If so, your pups will be at risk for littermate syndrome, even if they aren't from the same litter. It will be best to keep their crates and pens separate, allow for structured, healthy play (not a free for all) and be sure to do training and potty breaks separate before you do them together. If you need any more personalized guidance, you can use the online course at the PRO level to help you! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/
@@HowToTrainADreamDogyes we do, and should the pups play together? if so how long and should it be supervised?
We'd need some more information in order to really advise you on a good schedule, and we'd want to see how they act when they are together. This is the kind of personalized advice you can get from the course, though!
Hey I have 2 pups from the same litter and I'm worried their gonna have trouble learning their names and get mixed up any suggestions ???
Hey there! You should definitely be spending time with each pup individually, and use that time to practice some training games (such as the name game) as well as bond with each pup. Hopefully this helps!
Mines are 4 months and can't be separated, they need to sleep together. What should i do then?
You'll want to start the process of crate training so they each are comfortable in their own crates. Our online course contains the games to help them feel confident and have more independence.

Hi…
We have 1 yr old pug littermates. Our biggest problem is walking them without pulling. I understand that training separately is essential. We were working with a trainer who introduced prong collars. I have mixed feelings about them. They do seem to “work” but I feel uncomfortable using them. Any advice? I would never get littermates again. It is more than 2x the work! It’s like 10x!! Thanks for all your videos!
We do not recommend prong collars at all. The use pain to punish the puppy for this natural behavior. Instead, teach the puppy what you want him/her to do instead (walk nicely by your side) and reward for it! This video goes into more detail on positive reinforcement and why it's the way that dogs learn the best: th-cam.com/video/kqV4PQNJ8lI/w-d-xo.html
I just got 2 new puppies 3 days ago and to be honest when I was reading article so about how to train 2 puppies I’m feeling discouraged.
Is it okay if they are in an outside fence in the yard all day together while I’m at work?
We do not recommend that they are together, unsupervised nor outside. It's best if they are in their (separate) crates, and have someone drop in to let them out for potty breaks, meals and physical and mental exercise.
Hey
Hi! Thanks for watching.
I just got two littermates- one is my parents and one is mine. Mine is eventually going to live at my apartment with me but since he has not had its full vaccinations yet I’m too scared for him to live at my apartment and be potty trained there due to parvo. If i have a different crate will this be okay?
Would you recommend me taking my puppy to my apt and just using puppy pads until fully vaccinated or is he okay at my house in a different crate?
You can still potty training in an apartment even before vaccinations are complete. This video has a few good ideas on how to do it. It would be good for the puppies to start spending time apart now, before they develop an unhealthy bond and have a hard time being apart.

I recently adopted two (thai - street) pups from the same litter, after they were only 10 weeks as their mum got sick and had to abandon them, and they would have been sent off to the pound!... started off fine(ish!!) (for the first week) but I have recently noticed more defiance, like when I call their names to come back in after play, they run away and ignore me (!), and also a lot more barking and growling (and yelping) during play time. The pups do get along really well together, especially meal times when I try and separate them ad get them to eat apart, the smaller one wants to eat what the bigger one has and vice versa (even if it is the same food!), also they were very upset when I tried to move their crates away from each other so they couldn't see each other ... in the end after a lot of howling and screaming I decided to let them back together again. The next tip from your video I will try is to restrict their play times to less than 15 minutes (per session). No doubt I will face a lot more tantrums, so praying for strength! x
Let us know hot things continue to go! It sounds like you are learning a lot and that this video was helpful. Thank you for sharing!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog they definitely do not like having play time restricted and unfortunately I have to work so I cannot play with them throughout the day. So I have buckled and let them play together for an hour in the morning and then again in the afternoon. But they are getting quite rowdy so I am on the hunt for toys to distract them :) Let's see will keep persevering but for now I am too exhausted to even type. My energy goes on looking after them and trying to work and keep sane.. aaargh I hope this will end soon!
@@anitapaul398 I'm in the same boat but with bulldog pups! Lemme know how you do it because I'm exhausted
@@SauceyGod710 i didn't think it was possible to get any more exhausted but seems I managed to top it! I am a complete zombie and no matter what I do the potty training is getting worse and worse as there is no way I can manage to take one out at a time as the other one whines and ends up going on their crate, then if I try taking both out I can't get the leashes on them in time, and they end up playing or fighting with each other rather than concentrating... aargh! This is an impossible task when you live on your own. For now I have given up and just let them out and hope for the best. Forget any sort of routine .. most of the time they do go outside atleast, but we are still having accidents and especially now that I have had to go back to work. I feel very defeated most of the time :(
@@anitapaul398 I went with the advice of other trainers and rehomed them to separate them so they can have a chance to be good dogs. Didn't wanna wait till they got older plus I'm still able to see them whenever I want. Hope you get through it but you cannot buckle or they will turn on each other and learn to be aggressive with people and other dogs. Do not set them up for failure. Call for help professionally or at least rehome one of them and keep the other. I promise you'll see a different dog in a matter of days with whichever you keep. Do it for them. They deserve to live a great life and not feel like they're competing for attention. Even if you keep them on opposite sides of the house at all times they will always be able to smell each other

You'll really have to watch body language for overstimulation but generally it's only 5-10 minutes before they need a break or need to stop altogether. This video can help you! th-cam.com/video/13eUVNEecr4/w-d-xo.html
What about sleeping together? Mine have separate crates but when they fall asleep they cuddle together, they are 4 month old pugs. Thanks!
We don't recommend letting them sleep together. It's best if they are sleeping in separate crates. It's possible that when they are older and have independence from each other they can snooze together. But for now, separate crates is best.
@How To Train A Dream Dog thanks for the response!! I meant they have separate crates and sleep at night separately, but during the day when they take naps randomly, they'll cuddle together
That must be adorable!
***please help*** this came at perfect timing!! thank you so much. my moms male shih tzu is now a dad to some puppies. the momma stayed w three tht she gave away and we stayed with two that we are keeping. the male puppy is w my mom n the girl is coming w me in a week. they are super connected. i’m so scared when for they are separated. please help 😩
They will be okay as long as they are separated after 8 weeks!

I've got littler mates and watched lots of your videos before for tips (did get scared beforehand ) but I've two of each ,bowls,toys,crates ,cooling mats and even extra beds out the crate .they don't sleep nxt to each other out of crate they have there own picked space they go to each time and have different personalities .
I've been shouting them when playing to get them to come to me each time and that's working well (only had them for 3 weeks ) .one of them will even bark if the other is doing something he shouldn't to let me know .
As for training since one is calm and one is active I have found it going well as one loves doing stuff and the other one picks up right away .
One plays fetch,sits, comes when called most of the time ,waits and goes to the pee pad 90% of the time .
Other sits,comes when called even outside,potty trained 100% ,does not go out the front door till told and I'm lucky they both sleep well at night
Only problem I have is one likes to eat my wallpaper and cry's when I leave the room
The other
One is snitching hehehe
omg help meee
Hi everyone- just want to say, I had two female puppies from the same litter. They loved each other constantly playing until the age of 2 . Then they began having death matches… which we had to separate them , but we had to rehome one of them because I know the other would have killed her. These were shih tzu’s. We were so upset that we couldn’t keep the other one also. Two females same age is not recommended.😭
Thank you for sharing your story. We're so sorry you had to go through that, but are glad that you put the puppy's needs first and they both get to have loving homes now. We know that wasn't an easy decision!
So I was just gifted 2 litter mate goldendoodle puppies and now I'm regretting it. Was this a mistake? They cry every time they are separated. It's only the 1st night but I would like to know how bad this could get before It's too late
Littermates are 2x more work than having 1 puppy. It is totally normal to feel overwhelmed at first. We hope you find this video helpful. Here is another video that may help you with your decision: Puppy Blues th-cam.com/video/9frdWEfDHAg/w-d-xo.html
How is it going ? I am in a similar position as you unfortunately x
Hi what if my 2 puppies are born into the family and we’re not planning to give them away? :(
When training with two dogs in the house it will be important to train them separately before you can train them together. The other dog will be a big distraction to the training dog so having them away from each other during this time is important. Once you have sufficiently trained each one of them then you can work on training them together, but be prepared to go back to the basics!
This video is about littermates, but it contains some great tips on training two dogs at the same time. We also have a great one on introducing a new puppy to an older dog. Both of those will contain some great information for you.
For even more great advice and support, consider enrolling in the online course at the pro level. You’ll be able to ask unlimited questions or share videos of behaviors that you find puzzling or training that could use some fine tuning. And you can participate on zoom calls where you can get all your puppy questions answered by certified trainers!
Is littermates still an issue if the puppies are now 6-7 months old and are rescue dogs ?
Anytime two dogs are going through the developmental phases at approximately the same time, you run a greater risk of having problems like the ones mentioned in this video. We recommend at least a year of difference in ages if you are going to have two dogs.
I have 2 GSD Mixed puppies. One was.abused and Lame. Thank God for the first healthy puppy she challenged and encouraged the lame one to get healthy and heal. I carried the lame puppy around for a month. If it didn't get better I was going to put her down. They didn't tell me it couldn't walk. They were holding this puppy with an enormous swollen leg and bruised ribs. They said no one wanted it and I should help it. They handed me the puppy even.before I could agree or decline. I put her in my truck and took her home. That's when I found out she couldn't walk and all the life had been beaten out of her. She was not scared or aggressive, she figured out if I pretend to be invisible No one will beat me. My first puppy was mean to it and attacked it. I soon put an end to that. I am a Type A personality the first puppy was 99 % potty trained in 3 days. Neither Dog has ever Pooped in the House. Neither has Food or Toy possessiveness. My Dogs Obey and Love me. Every Morning they rush to greet me, same after a nap, they come over after a meal to cuddle. They do love Each more then Me. Which I couldn't Care less. They are Dogs not People, better their Best Friend is a Dog that they have something in Common with then an old man retired man. I know Nothing about Crate training or 90 % of what else was said in this video. Iam German pets and kids belong outside where the world is. You talk firm and calm to them and they will grow up right. I think the American people make having a Dog more complex then need be. Cheers.

Hey there Yvonne! It sounds like you're going to need to seek assistance from a professional trainer. You'll want to give your trainer a bit more background information on your home environment as well as your puppies' schedules, confinement opportunity and daily activities.
