:wub: Aww puppies are great!!

Can't really add much to the great advice given, just wanted to say it's definately really important to walk Twiglet seperately at least some of the time, it let's her concentrate on you and gives you a chance to do some training. And I'm sure Brandy will appriciate some peace and quiet too! I had a similar problem with Meg when she was a pup - she was obsessed with Sally and followed her around like a shadow, I thought I could use this to get a good recall by calling both names, knowing Sally would come and Meg would follow, then give them both a treat and Meg would learn that she got a treat when she came to me. Except as soon as she got to about 6 months and stopped following Sally so much, she also stopped coming back! :devil:

Make sure you have lots of fun with her before you get too serious about training, let her be a naughty little puppy for a bit! She'll learn better as she gets older and starts to calm down anyway.

Good luck!
