This is exactly the problem Vince was trying to warn
you about. They are overbonding and becoming *doggy*. I'm not
clear on your future training plans for these 2? Are these
dogs littermates? It's never a good plan to raise littermates
together, breeders ought to know better. You are getting
some good advice, but it seems as if you're mind is made up.

Chuck, You know what they say about great minds and
all  *Doggy* is the only word that describes it.
Consider that we're asking our dogs to accept a strange
species (humans) as pack members, that requires a bit of
doing, altho domestic dogs are genetically equipped to make
such a transition fairly easily. W/littermates, you have 2
dogs who have been together since the moment of birth. They
spend all of their time together. Why should they accept
humans into their pack? And why should they be willing to
accept leadership from such an outsider? These 2 sound like
every pair of littermates I've ever had in for training, they
are overbonded and obessed w/each other, which is why they
come unhinged when they are separated. This is seriously
limiting their potential in any type of training. If you are
serious about training, separate them all the time. Perhaps a
few play breaks together, but no more than that. Next, pls
find a good trainer to work with. This notion of the Dual Dobe
Puppies looking for danger makes no sense. They are much too
young and have no solid foundation for that type of work.
