I am getting tomorrow a 3 month old Australian Female Kelpie. I have a Cross between a Silky and a maltese Jackie who is 4 year old. He has a wonderful temperment and is quiet and good on a lead. He is easy to train and comes when called most of the time.

I have heard the kelpies if not train correctly can be a handful. I live on an acre with a half of acre fenced enough that Jackie does not get out.

I also work 4 days a week and want to do the right thing with them. And I would like her to be an inside dog sometimes.

Can you give me some suggestions on how to start training and whether they would be ok sleeping together or in their separate beds.

The female puppy has been sleeping with her mother and sister.
