Is my dog training my puppy for me?
July 31st, 2008 | by admin |
I have a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel and we just adopted a 10 week old puppy (border collie/lab who is already bigger than the cocker).
Anyway, we are crate training the puppy. We don’t yet have a crate for the puppy, so we are using the cocker’s crate and letting him be out at night and during the day (he is very well housetrained).
Last night, in the crate for the first time, the puppy (a border collie/lab mix who is already bigger than my cocker) was whining and yelping. We tried to ignore it, and then we tried to tell him no be quiet, but he just kept on for 5 minutes.
My cocker was sleeping next to me and ran over there a few times. Finally, he got down, laid under the bed near the crate, and issued a few low growls at the puppy. That puppy didn’t make one sound after that all night!
My dog just trained him to be quiet in the crate! Have you seen this before? Is that what he was doing? Has this got to do with being dominant or because we were upset?

well you have two intelligent animals and yes the one is teaching the other. The pup just don’t like being alone and the older one will reflect on the younger one, thus teaching the same habbits of what it was taught.

Your cocker spaniel is probably just annoyed. Mom dogs growl at their puppies when they do things that are not liked too.
