pigeon toes Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have a 3 year old cocker which is trained and working to my requirements.I recentley got a 12 month cocker which has had a chequered start to its life.I have had this dog for 6 weeks and have had made good steady progress with her training despite her seriously lacking in confidence when I first took her on.When out on my own training her she focuses and responds really well.When I take both cockers out and keep one on a lead I have no problems but if I let them both go the youngest tears obout and will not respond to any commands.I think this is because she has been neglected and she has missed out on her puppy stage.Not sure whether to let her run around and just treat it as play time or not give her the oppurtunity.Any advice would be welcomed.

I really struggle with my springer and goldie together if im down the marsh sitting still there fine anything else my goldie goes wild so i try to avoid taking them out together but im sure as he matures he will calm down but takes time, im sure that will be the case for yourself its basicly impossible to train dogs together and should be avoided imo.
