Default Double training

We are getting two crossbreeds on Friday and we are wondering if it woul be hard to train both of them.
We are thinking of training them seperatly everyday for a period of time(also for them to bond with us). Is this the right way of going about this?

Yes. Enroll them in a training class and if you take one dog and your wife/girlfriend/partner can take the other that would be best. Most classes wont allow you to train two dogs at once unless you are in an advanced class and both dogs have gone seperatly to a regular class.

Are you getting puppies or adults? Just an FYI, its not the best idea to get two puppies at once. They tend to bond with each other and not you. Its best to get one puppy and then bring in another about 6 months to a year later.

Default Re : Double training

I think it is fine to train them separately as you would not diverge your attention during the training. However, do make sure that you do not put too much attention on only one of them as it may make the other one feel bad or jealous. I personally have a blog about dog training and perhaps you could have a look at it. Maybe you could as well give me some comments about the training methods. Thanks.

Can we know why you are about to get two dogs at the same time? What are their breed and ages? Some dogs get easily together but some are not, better observe them closely on the first time they meet. If they've already met (they are together already), learn and implement their usual routine then closely introduce to the new environment which is yours.
