Hi I am new to the forums and am looking for some serious advice and help!
We have a 9 month old lab and 5 month old beagle the lab as expected is obedient generally calm but is a puppy so keen to play and be boisterous at times particularly social with other dogs. The beagle again typical beagle obedient when she chooses which is most of the time but more hyper than the lab but typical puppy.
Both have been to obedience classes and done fine like i say generally well behaved for young pups.
The problem I have is walking them together I really struggle ( alone or seperately should I say they walk perfect to heel and listen to me) together they hardly listen, pull, are more hyper particularly the beagle and of course the lab is strong now to be coping with pulling etc when also trying to control the beagle. I guess this has to do with feeding off each other's energy or some pack behaviour but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
