Oh gosh how cute!

@drew82 Very cute!! Both of them! But Jasmine being a puppy ~ shows how smart the B's are & how they can tire quickly of doing something but I gotta' give her credit ~ she stayed on task very well! I didn't notice before that, she has 2 round spots, a smaller one on top of her head & a bigger spot on her neck! She's got the brightest little eye's too!!

She certainly is cute.
Not wanting to be negative, but in my experience it is best to work on new things with a pup or dog one on one with no interference from another animal. You want clarity in what you are willing to reward, and certainly with clicker training you want the behaviour solidly instilled before you name it and begin requesting it on command. Of course, many people have different approaches to training, and most methods will get you there sooner or later, but if you are striving for consistent behaviour and obedience to commands I think it helps to have a consistent, undistracted approach to teaching new behaviours.

I tried to do it separately but 2 things... 1 they are so closr with each other you would need the jaws of life to split them up...lol and 2 caia the Shih Tzu , has been helping train jasmine. Caia does the command and Jasmine watches..
Then jasmine mimics. Caia has helped house break her also. But i agree most training should be done solo -
@drew82
While you do need some individual time training, I understand totally. I always did separate "tricks" for my dogs beyond the common ones (ie down, sit, look, etc). So imagine my surprise after my other basenji, Arwen, died and I decided to "teach" Cara all of Arwen's tricks... and she already had them down 100 percent. Yeah, she simply watched and knew but since I'd never asked her to do them, she didn't and I didn't know. The young ones here always learned from the older ones. -
I think it's great if the pup is learning from the older dog. Farm dogs certainly learn quite a bit about livestock from their elders, and it can be very useful. I do think the core commands need to be dealt with a bit differently because the dog has to clearly understand that they are never optional, and you need to know that the dog will comply when the other dog is not present to model the behaviour.
