Hi Everyone
I have an 8 month old boy havanese and tomorrow we pick up our second puppy! Feeling excited and very nervous. Marco will love the company as we took him on holidays and stayed with a family who had two dogs so he was loving life. However, I am worried about how to walk both of the puppies and just generally curious as to how it will all go down. Marco is mostly toilet trained but has some bad habits of jumping on people. Would love some advice on how to not get him to jump. We have tell him no, we don't pat him for a few minutes when we come home, we don't pat him or pay any attention to him unless 4 feet are on the floor. Would love any other advice..
Thanks Chaunie

Congratulations on the new puppy! We have 3 puppies and it is a bit difficult especially with potty training.
Our 8.5 month girl is pretty reliable in potty training. Our 6.5 month boy is almost there. Our baby 3.5 months is the one we have to work with the most. We have to watch him and confine all of them, take them out frequently....

But, they all get along great and really have fun playing with each other. Training just takes more time and effort.
Post pics when you get the new baby! Good luck!

Mine almost always sleep NEAR each other, but in separate beds. I only rarely see one of the girls cuddled against Kodi (and he rarely looks thrilled about it) The girls never cuddle with each other... if one invades the other's space, the first grumbles and moves. Reminds me of two kids in the back seat together. ;)
