Very, very adorable puppies! Isn't it funny how different littermates can be? Each beautiful, but so very different...

I am certain that you have a lot of advice about potty training a puppy, so I thought I'd share an article about training an adult dog...since yours are in between, maybe some of this advice will help:

You have a much more difficult problem with two dogs...I know because I raised littermates too...it was a wonderful experience, but certainly had its challenges...in the end, it is all worthwhile...so hang in there, and check in with the forum when you are facing difficulties. We may not always be able to help, but we certainly do support one another!

Hi Angie,
I agree with you...I wouldn't take away the water...but then I do know of many who do and it works just fine...personally, I know the when I am thirsy, I want to get a drink...so I feel like my dogs should have that same opportunity. Especially now that the weather is getting hotter.
I have never had a problem with potty training and I keep a water dish filled all the time...and my dogs are heavy drinkers!
