Default How much does a puppy learn from a an adult dog?
If you let your puppy hang out with your adult dog, will he learn bad habbits, good habbits or both? Is it more of a help or more of a hinderence?

I think he will learn both.....
Unless of course the dog is trained and hasn't many BAD faults/habits....

I think it is good for the pup...I like the pup to be around a certain, not the same dog all of the time, but a certain dog for a certain pup....

I also think that puppies will learn from older dogs. Caesar and JT learned a lot from Queen.

Our foster puppies seem to learn house breaking by following the lead of the adult dogs.

Yep they learn the good and the bad. I think its great for older dogs to have a puppy around, seems like it brings their youth back.
