My 2 year old lab is great when he is by himself, but once he gets around other dogs he is a disaster. He used to be a lot worse than he currently is.

I trained two golden retrievers that had lived together for 3 years before I started training them. It was always harder to deal with training both of them at the same time, but it wasn't impossible. Once I got them to honor one another (i.e., retrieve only when their specific name was called), life got a lot easier.

The one year old is still young and playful. The two year old is probably playful too. At least I know my two year old lab is plenty playful, but he is a lot calmer than when he was one. I think they will grow out of it.

Personally, I would continue to train both of them separately until you have them completely under control. Hunting them together might have to wait until you have a little more training under their belt and you work them together during this upcoming spring/summer.
