Does Your Dog Have 2 Sides To Their Personality?

[Tilly]

We have 2 GSD's who are both a little crazy ... the older one has driven me crazy for almost 8 years and then ... just for fun we added another working line GSD pup just as the older one started to settle.

After a fair bit of landscaping and redecorating over the last couple of weeks (mainly by the youngest) I was glad when the older dog came out of retirement and returned to work.

So this weekend I have had only 1 dog at home ... which I thought would be fantastic to spend one on one time with the youngest to work on some of his training ... but with the miserable weather I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I would have like.

But I have noticed since the other dog isn't at home ... the youngest has been an absolute perfect angel!!! He hasn't been landscaping or redecorating ... in fact when I am not outside with him he is asleep on his bed.

The neighbours were worried he was sick or something because they often sit on their back veranda and watch him amusing himself during the day - that way I get a report on who destroyed what in the backyard.

So now I am convinced the older dog is setting the younger one up ... maybe he is hoping if one dog ever has to go it would be the little "trouble maker"

Definitely - good and evil.

Barney is a big sook all the time - unless he's in "guard" mode then if anyone peeks over the fence he is quite different (it's OK, we didnt teach him "guard" mose LOL).

Pippi is horribly naughty and always looking for trouble and she is quite independant and arrogant, but then she is the sweetest, cuddliest little thing you could want.
