i recently got 2 puppis from the same litter 1 boy1 girl lhasa apsa/cockapoo mix from a bad situation. there 9 weeks old and now there barking and chasing each other.in the middle of the night barking. please give me direction. i'm reading up on training but the barking and a little biteing is insane they go potty outside, not in the house which is great, i'm getting no sleep. would a clock help so they'd sleep to a least a decent hour, not 3:00 am?how do i cut the barking??? thanks barbara ann

They are being puppies.  It is the reason most people would not contemplate having two together.  they are bonding and acting as dogs, you are secondary to them.  Training witll be a lot harder.  The only way it ever really works is if you treat them as if they were two pups living seperately with time to visit each other as if they were visiting a doggy pal.

You will need to seperate them at night into seperate crates, best to let them be close to eachotehr as now they will howl if seperated as they would have done if taken from the litter.

You should also walk them mostly seperately, and train them on their own until they are grown up.

Two pups is not double trouble but trouble squared :D

Persoanlly if you got the two to get them out of a bad situation I would try and find a good home for one of them and keep just one, otherwise you are looking at two long years before they will be well adjusted and treained pets.  I assume you are at home all the time, if not then I realy urge you to think hard about the time and commitment needed to train two pups when one wouyld need all your spare time.

I agree there,I have two pups from the same litter and even though i am at home all day i am finding it hard to get the little girl to behave like her brother.They are fine in the house and i have no problems there it is lead walking that she is a nightmare with.She is walked more on her own as she is so difficult to handle if there is one of the others there,even on her own she is a right handful.So unless you have bags of time it could be a tough slog.Saying that she is a husky!
