How to train six 7-month-old puppies when it's so difficult?

Question

My dog had six puppies and my fiance decided to keep all of them 4 girls two boys. They are now 7 months. Can they be trained to full to potential because as of today has been nearly impossible to get all of them to focus to do anything to me it is way to many dogs for a person to have.

It sounds like you definitely have your hands full! :) Deciding how many dogs you want to have (and are able to care for) at one time is a very personal decision - so only you can determine if this is a good choice for you and your family. But, I can tell you that it would be **extremely** difficult to do a good job of training six puppies at once - one puppy is plenty for most owners! I would never consider keeping an entire litter of pups personally, because I know there is no way that I could give this many puppies enough personal, one-on-one time and attention to help them thrive. If you feel this way also, I would suggest talking to your fiance about finding homes for some of the puppies sooner rather than later, as they will only become more difficult to place as they get older - especially if they are poorly socialized and untrained.
