In addition to learning to love dogs more than you, your puppies learn to be very co-dependent on each other. You should be the center of your dog’s universe, and not any other dogs. Any dog interactions should be with neutral, safe adult dogs, or occasional play sessions with other puppies. Those critical first months home should be filled with fun interaction with you and your family. Your new additions will have more fun interacting with each other than they do with you, and that is a recipe for disaster. Once they’ve learned these skills, they go off to their new home to bond with their new family.īut what if that new family includes another puppy? Puppies love to play every waking minute, and nothing is more fun than another puppy. They learn how to play, how to make friends, how to give corrections, and how to accept them. Puppies need 8-10 weeks with their mother and littermates to learn vital information. They don’t have to be actual littermates, but just dogs who grow up together at the same time, in the same house. LITTERMATE SYNDROME IS A PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS WHEN YOU GET TWO YOUNG DOGS AT THE SAME TIME.
