Ok so I also only ever had cockapoos and honestly they are sooo needy its the cocker spaniel in them.
Well my older one wasn’t a dream to start with but she wasn’t as bad as this. She’s perfect now though, gives us an evil look when we’re leaving the house without her but then she just goes upstairs to her bed in our room or lays on our bed. She’s such a lovely girl. I keep telling myself that the puppy will grow up to be just like her - fingers crossed!Ok so I also only ever had cockapoos and honestly they are sooo needy its the cocker spaniel in them.
Some of mine are very needy, some independent and Ive treated them all the same. All happy to be left though tey are notorious though for being very full on. Sounds like your older one was a dream though.
Its hard when youre exhausted. My youngest is 8 months and is still getting up at 5am every day morning when none of my others have did this
It will pass. I know it seems extreme but Ive wanted to take every one of them back at some point
puppyhood is not fun unless its not your pup, you can have a cuddle and go home 
Ours was almost 3 when we got number 2. I’d not have been able to do it when our first was so young. Although I know many who got a second at 1!
I did! Had larger gaps too. I think its v dependent on your dogs.
Honestly, I spent many a night on the kitchen floor crying- I know you’ve had dogs before but try and remember, despite the stress and tiredness, it gets much better and the frustration is probably coming from your tiredness.I WFH so she goes in the crate behind me

On Thursday. I’m just at my wits end. No proper sleep for a week, stressed out, my older dog is stressed because I’m stressed and now she won’t eat. I feel like I’ve made a huge mistake.
Luckily I work from home but I haven’t left the house for a week and can’t see a time when I’ll be able to because she screams if I go to another room for 10 seconds.
Crying again nowffs

We did both ends of the scale! Got our second when our first was 18 months, and then years later when the first died we got our third when the second was 6. Categorically can say the first way was so much easier as first was still a baby herself and more tolerating. My 6 year old is now 7 and the pup is 1 and they’re only now starting to like being around each other. It obviously all depends on the dogs and it’s the same as kids, do you want to get all the babyhood out of the way, or would you rather have one more independent dog and a baby!

mine is always wild when they wake up too and completely annoys the other one. The skys awake so Im awake is his motto 
We went through this and had to bring the crate out for night time for a while again. Too much freedom was the issue.we have a show cocker spaniel and has currently been getting up at 4.30/5 every day. doesn't need anything and can't go through til 7. she's not hungry. she's a year and a few months. not sure how to get her to snap out of it. has freedom of the house at night. but I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering
My ‘puppy’ of the same age is the same. She is extremely hard work at the moment.
Welcome to adolescence. Our two both regressed at a similar age. Consistency and back to how you taught / nipped it in the bud last time. May take longer this time (adolescence can be longer in bigger breeds for example) but keep at it, you’ll get there.
our boy has taken a massive step back with everything. He's reacting to everything outside the house, will bark at one of our cats and has really regressed with his training. The only thing that has stayed consistent is his recall!
