It's really important that pup understand why he is being corrected through teaching Leave It and Out, and using that long leash and treats with you present when you involve the remote training collar, so that when pup is corrected when he doesn't think you are watching, he understands why and how to stop that correction, and doesn't just associate the correction with the other dog being nearby. Once he understands completely, then the remote collar can be used when you are spying on pup out of sight to convince pup that the rule still applies even when you aren't there to enforce it. If it continues when they are older, low level remote collar training can be done, initially using a long leash with you present and rewarding pup obeying Leave It and Out, and using the remote collar correction to interrupt the puppy when he doesn't obey - so that he fully understands that the rule is to give your older dog more space, and is rewarded for respecting that as well. Once pup is older and a little calmer, having prevented the constant pestering through your enforcement of rules and giving both space away from each other when you aren't there to train and enforce, they may work things out themselves.

After you have taught him what Out means, I would also pay attention to the section in the article I have linked below on How to Use Out to Deal with Pushiness, and Using Out to Help Dogs get along.įor now I would give the dogs more separation when you can't be around, enforcing the Leave It and Out command when you can supervise, crating or confining in separate rooms when you leave the home to give your older dog a break. I would start by teaching the Out command.
