Simple rule:
đ Wait until your first dog is rock-solid trained and around 2 years old.
Hereâs why it works so well:
⢠Your first dog becomes the teacher.
Dogs learn faster from other dogs than from humans alone.
⢠Good habits are contagious.
Calm walks, clean house manners, reliable recalls your new dog copies it all.
⢠Bad habits spread too.
An untrained dog + a puppy = twice the chaos.
⢠Training gets easier, not harder.
A trained dog shows the new dog how to live with you, not just commands.
đĄ Bottom line:
Train your first dog first.
That dog will help you train the second one.
