Why we train our pups seperately...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

The crumpet household has two mutts, sisters who are 3/4 mini schnauzer and 1/4 king charles spaniel, born late last september.

They are doing very well. I thought it would amuse some of you to see why they are usually trained seperately (found out after we got them that the “experts” say you shouldn’t get siblings, but this is going very well, and yes they do bond to each other - but that’s a great thing, they bond to the rest of the family just as much :slight_smile: but yeah training them together doens’t really work)

I have ten of these short vids from tonight, but I have uploaded two of them to start with, may do more if there’s popular demand. If you only watch one, watch the second. Here they are:

Vid 1
Vid 2

Note: Meh, I’ve sat here for 20 minutes or so waiting for vid 2 to be processed, so it’ll be there eventually, probably very soon. Give it a go and if it doesn’t work, won’t be long I hope.

They’re really cute. :slight_smile:

3

Thank you :slight_smile:

How the feck can vid 2 (which is funnier) be taking this long to be processed?!

4

I gave up and re-uploaded video 2.

Wait…what happens when you curl up in a fetal position?

6

They come up and sniff around your head when you squeal at them (while curled up in said position). Very good fun. One of the other videos demonstrates that with Mrs. Crumpet.

I am surprised you can hear the audio so clearly, it is not at all clear on my computer.

Replaced link for vid 2 with correct version, at OP’s request.

Oh, they’re cute. I ran into the same trouble training Dammit Sally…I would try to do “sit” with her while meanwhile the other dogs would be running through their entire reptoires of tricks, including “roll all over the floor” and “push a kitchen chair out and sit on it”.

That was my question, too!
What cuties!

10

Thanks but it’s not quite right yet!

11

Try again.

12

Perfect, thanks! :smiley:

13

And for those asking about fetal postion, may I present Mrs. Crumpet, Magic, and Cocoa demonstrating it on the same night for ya!

Very cute! I’m stuck at work, this livened up my afternoon.

My question is who is training whom?

Puppy One: Quick, go around to the left with the leash and I will go to the right.
Puppy Two: Yeah, and you grab that treat while I lick her ear.
Puppy One: Got it - now you go between her legs and distract her…
Puppy Two: OK but you have to give me the other half of that biscuit you are stealing while she is not noticing you.
Puppy One: See, now we have her spinning like a top and getting dizzy. We’ll have her on her knees in a matter of moments.
Puppy Two: Geez, it is taking a long time to teach this silly human how to do what we want.
Puppy One: Don’t worry, eventually she will catch on.
