1 pup at a time? - 05/03/13 04:31 PM
So as some of you know I acquired a couple pups a month or so ago. We have yet to acquire a second kennel for housetraining. so we were forced (by size at this point) to pt them both into an 8X16 outside kennel. They have adaped well and sleep comforatbly in a way oversized dogloo that I had received when I bought the kennel. I have noticed they are getting restless and digging a lot. I can excercise them both, but it takes time to do them separately.
My question, Is it ok to bring 1 in the house and leave the other out to make up for time apart. Is it cruel to bring one in for house training, then at a later date once the 1 is fully housetrained, bring the other in? I'm debating on trying to find a new home for 1 as my wife Loves them but doesnt have time to spend(at least in her eyes.) except on weekends.
On a positive note they are both chasing birds (doves, pigeons, and larks that land in the yard and in the field in our neighborhood.) they are both responding to Here and Sit when I am training them independently. When they are together it's about 50-50. both have done 5-10 yd water retreives and both have stopped and pointed wildish pigeons in a field (by sight though.)
