I just learned about littermate syndrome or sibling syndrome.
My dogs are almost a year old, and nobody had ever warned me about having 2 pups together and the problems associated with 'littermate syndrome' even though my dogs are non-related siblings.
As I've started wlaking them spearately, the changes are amazing but not necessarily positive.
Bob, who has not chased a car since before we got Sacha is jumping after every car and motorcycle that goes by on our walks.
Sacha, who never peed on a walk- not once- before separate walks now pees almost every time while out walking. She still holds the poo until we get home.
Are you raising dogs of the same age? Any tips from anyone?
