| Since they're only 8 weeks old right now, as long as they're not hurting each other, it would probably be best to let them work it out. Of course, there are variables to this situation. Did they come from the same litter? At what age did you get them? They should just be leaving their Mom and littermates now, so I'm hoping you just got them. If you got them too early, then they may not have learned proper behavior, boundaries and interaction. If possible, it's best to let them work out their own pecking order - and then you have to respect that order by giving a bit of special treatment to the alpha, i.e. feeding the alpha first, petting first, etc. Just be aware that having two pups of the same age means more work and if they came to you at too young an age, it'll require a LOT more work. Are both pups of the same gender? If so, male or female?
