My new guys

Thought I would post a pic of my two new guys. They are on the mend know after coming to us with fevers and skin bacteria, both of which the vet thinks they got while on the transport up from the foster home in Indiana. Any way that's Ozzy up front and Batman in the back lounging. They are corgi/golden retriever mixes and we could not be happier

They are super smart, maybe too smart. I have a question though. I am having a hard time teaching them not to jump on strangers or bark at other dogs when we go for walks. Its all very playful and once they get some attention they stop but its can be very inconvenient as well as intimidating to others. I give them a stern no and stop the walk until they calm down but what else can I do???

The way out of this is to take them out separately, so you can teach them the proper behavior and only take them out together after they have both learned. It will be good for their confidence also. Often two pups that are used to being always together, fall apart when being separated, so you want to teach them you may only take one. Just start very short, 5 or 10 minutes, and create a routine they understand. If you have someone else at home (human or animal) it's easier to leave one behind. Good luck, they look so handsome! Love the names :-D

What ever you can be thankful that they are smart. If they are English Shepherds, then that would the be cross of 2 herder breeds and might render them more forceful. Herders usually try to take charge and take care of all of their people and animals.
