[Sweet Apple]

I think some dogs just bark more than others...Buzz would bark a whole lot more, than he does, but when he starts, I tell him, very firmly, no, and he stops...He uses barking as an intimidating weapon to get something from Apple...Maybe, because he's not aggressive, idk? Apple only barks, when someone comes to the door....She is wonderful, in that area, and my house was much quieter, before Master Buzz arrived on the scene... I could never get Apple to go on pee pads (good luck w/that), only outside...Buzz goes on pads or outside...They're both good w/the baths and hair dryer, but that maybe because they're used to it, on a regular basis...Buzz walks better on a leash, because he wants to "go somewhere", and Apple wants to "sniff everything!"...Buzz comes when called, Apple comes, if you tell her she'll get a treat lol...I think your boys are going to be different, and you'll learn to love their differences...I don't think you went wrong, I think it was your bf...lol...just kidding
