Last night around 8 pm I decided I would work on the table and board with Bug. John had gone out to meet some friends so I moved the coffee table and brought both up to the living room. I set the board up against our couch and the table at the other end of the room.
I measured my table and it is 12 1/4. Pretty darn good measuring job! I obviously didn't take the plywood into account!!
I didn't crate Ike because he screams if anyone else is working and it was a bit later - didn't want to disturb the landlord. Well, what do you know - Ike wouldn't let Bug get on ANY of the equipment. Not maliciously, but as Bug was thinking, Ike would hop up and start offering various behaviors. Goober!
I can see I am going to have to figure out a way to manage their training time. Ike might just have to scream. The upside is that I spent a lot of time sitting on my living room floor c/t Ike for touching the rake while Buggie watched and working on Ike's table behavior! Ike was a very happy Schnauzer!

Stuffed Kong? That usually shuts Tessie up, who, by the way, does the same ridiculous things Ike does when the younger sibling is getting attention...
use the Manners Minder to shape Ike to keep a down stay while you work Bug. Then do the same for Bug while you work Ike.
Both good suggestions. I will have to try both. The MM and down holds a lot of promise!
Sometimes I put one pup in the car so they can't see what is going on inside the house!
That's a good idea too!!
