If they are getting a treat, both sit on a mat patiently and quietly. We are getting there but its the first time I have had a litter, so wanted to get it right with keeping my pup
Wow,it is doing so well supervised..very good ... i wish i can do this too

Re: Leave them to it or step in?

I would also say that it's good for them to have some time appart, especially for training, otherwise they can become too involved wih each other (instead of listening to you!) would love to see some pics, I love shar pei

Re: Leave them to it or step in?

I have to admit, im not in the leave them too it brigade, but i imagine it depends on your individual dogs.

With one of mine, the more another dog tells him off, the more it spurs him on and the more determined and persistent he becomes.

This has never happened between my two, so i've no idea if he would be the same with a dog he lived with, but with others, i always step in to stop matters escalating.

I would of thought for a puppy, it could be quite a fun game.

Re: Leave them to it or step in?

I can see reasons for both sides, so will gauge each situation individually rather than sweepiling say, 'I'll leaver her to it' or the step in

She (mum) I think is doing a great job. Sometimes Storm, the pup, tries to get her to play, and she will tell him off, then 2 mins later will make him play. Its as if she is saying 'I decide when its playtime'

Here is the hooligan with his mum



And with his mum and sister

Re: Leave them to it or step in?

I, personally, would just manage the situation and train the pup to do a different behaviour. I don't think it's right just to leave it to the Mum, as she is getting distressed by it, and the reactions could be even stronger if this is left.

I would train a 'Go To Mat' behaviour or 'Place' on a bed or towel or rug, and engage the pup in that at night times. That can be his place and the sofa can be hers. This gives you control and stops the issue between Mum and pup. You can even train Mum this too, and make the atmosphere between them more enjoyable.
