If you have 2 golden retriever female puppies and you focus on one for potty training will the other 1 follow?

I have 2 female golden retriever puppies and I was wondering if you focus on one of them only on the potty training, will the other littermate learn from her sister?

1. you should do both.. its by seeing your also unpleased with her accident that she will learn better
2. Golden retrievers are extremely eager to please. My experience was, I simply took mine out every 20 minutes or so when he came home, kept him out until he did whatever, praised him a lot, and brought him back in. He basically never did anything in the house unless he was really sick. I'm not sure why it would be different with two. I'd expect to have them together. But I wouldn't count on one learning from the other.
3. No. You got two puppies, you get double the work. YOu have to train BOTH dogs properly.
4. Not necessarily so don't count on it that goes for ALL training. As I told you in another question you need to work with BOTH puppies separately. Assuming there is more than one person in your house hold one person takes one pup out (on leash) and you take the other - opposite sides of the yard.
5. Nope you have to train both dogs, you got two puppies you've got double the amount of work. One will not simply follow and learn it's up to you to train it. That goes for everything else. TWO PUPPIES = TWICE THE WORK.
6. No. It will also confuse the one that you're training.
7. Nope. Double the dogs : DOUBLE THE WORK Good luck.
8. Nope. More likely the one that is NOT housetrained will encourage the one you are working with to forget her training. Train them both.
9. You need to potty train both of them.
10. no. dogs don't learn by imitation. you have to focus on both.
