Raising two sibling four month old puppies
I am a proud parent of two 4 month old Beagle/Rat Terrier brothers. Do you have anysuggestions on raising and training 2 sibling puppies? I have been searching and everything I have found has either been just about one puppy, bringing a new puppy into a multi-dog house hold, or has a one page mention of how difficult raising two siblings will be. I haven’t been able to find anything helpful. I have signed the puppies up for Puppy Training at PetSmart but we will be bringing each one to separate classes so I don’t think that will help with how to deal with them when they are together. Do you have any advice or book/training suggestions?

i dont know a ton about dog
i dont know a ton about dog behavior but i do know some and i have been around a lot of dogs. i think that it is VERY important to socialize each pup seperatly. so that they not only get along with each other but also outher dogs as well. dog parks and puppy play groups are great for this! also, dont let them do everything together, the classes apart will be good for them. being that they are only four months old, i know you dont wanna think about this but there will be a time when one passes on so you want the other to still be able to go on without its sibling. i know that owning two pups is difficult (raising my one was hard enough!), be prepared for them to team up and take on a "pack" mentality. good luck!! enjoy them!
Thanks for the advice.
