Guest Frank Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Fezz, if you want a home for the other one, let me know. Only kiding. The only thing i can think of, is hold 1, while the other runs, then vise the versa. Could just be one of them puppy things they are going threw aswell. Frank. Quote Link to post

Tina 1 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi Fezz, my 2 girls do that too!! Lexi will race around full of herself and Keeta will stay right by my legs, I'm hoping that it's because they are still babies and are still learning the 'pack' order, once they are big enough though hopefully a rabbit WILL bring them on and they will both be up for it Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I apologise in advance if I offend you.............but if this is happening all the time why the f**k haven't you stopped it? Yeah, the timid one may make the better dog, or maybe she won't, but unless you stop the bully upsetting her she's not going to get a chance to build in confidence and agility/strength/ability etc etc. I have been in the situation where I can only let one dog off lead at a time, and its not fun. I also have two sisters, and they CAN'T work together as one is so much more dominant than the other, psyching her gentler sister off a rabbit when they are chasing. So if you are expecting them to work together, it may not happen at all how you would like. Quote Link to post

jimg 17 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Try taking them out one at a time i know its a pain and more time is taken up but it might build the confidence of the quiet pup. Quote Link to post
