Default A training question

I have two wonderful neutered male GSP's, Ike will be two in a couple of weeks and Duke will be one the end of September. They get along well outside but when there in the yard they chase each other constantly. It started with Ike doing the chasing now Duke has turned the tables. It hasn't gotten aggressive....yet and I don't want it to. My question is any ideas on how to train these two to be more laid back in the house? As of now they are separated in the house with Ike upstairs with my wife and Duke and I are in the basement. These two need to learn to share a couch If that can't happen I'm afraid Duke will need a new home and I really don't want that!

Whenever they get rambunctious in the house put them outside with the admonishment "OUT!" Be consistent to the extreme.

It will take some vigilance but they can be taught to share. An e-collar isn't just for hunting training...

How about confining the two of them is a small, enclosed, bulletproof area, and leave them there until they get tired of each other

All I have to do is put the collar on Mosby the rambunctious Chocolate Lab and it ends it all.

Same with Grace.... most of the time. Other times it’s as simple as brandishing the hand-held remote at her and she quickly succumbs.

If you are ever lost deep in the woods, start talking about dog training...someone will show up to tell you how its done.

You need to ditch the GSP's and get a couple Llewellin's. You'll never look back.

Dean and Jerry, same with my 3 1/2 yr old english setter. The e collar works wonders in short order and far more humane in my opinion than other methods of altering unwanted behaviour.

I'll pass on the setters, I've had two and that was two to many for me These guys just need to learn to calm down some.
