This week, Jess and Scott discuss the process of raising littermates. Many owners do not understand what a process this can be, so this episode is dedicated to breaking down the idea of raising two beings who have been bonded since the womb. Why would raising littermates be any different than raising two puppies a similar age? Who should have the final say if a family should raise littermates or not? How can you set the pups up for success if you happen to own two young littermates right now?   For more information about Scott and Jess and their strategies, please check out: https://caninehealing.com   To view The Quirky Dog’s website and a full catalog of episodes, visit: https://www.thequirkydog.com   To work with Scott and Jess in person within their service area (Portland, ME to Boston, MA to Manchester, NH), email them at [email protected]   Have you ever wondered why your dog behaves a certain way?
