I have a one year old bitch and a 6 month old puppy. In the house they are fine play fight, even when i get them out together they run around and play. My problem is that when i put the leads on and try to walk them up the path and down the road they fight really bad. I have them in seperate hands but it just pulls my arms. Today it was so bad i walked out of my gate and turned around and came back. Anyone got any suggestions they are really strong and bark and snarl at each other loudly!
 
You need to be alot firmer with them, they are taking the P.
Work with them seperately on their pulling and maybe introduce a halti to give you better head control. Introduce a focus (treat) make sure you have good training leads (helps the old hands) and you have a good walking position.
Short lead will help for better control/having them closer to your body than having to much lead to ge at one another, you may end up with extra muscles in each arm you never had b4, but your certainly need to be firmer with them both.
When you are working with this, try an play wit the puppy in the garden and burn some energy off, and try and have some play times with them each seperately rather than them playing with one another (they find each other alot more interesting than u at present)
Try and also calm the play indoors down offering up other distractions, maybe little training sessions form u with a treat and an aid for extra stimualtion than constant hooning with one another.
