Also they are still puppies and are going to act like puppies....6 month olds are puppies, they are learning, challenging, pushing the boundaries and have almost endless supplies of energy. In a few months they will begin the brat phase...they will push every boundary and test, test, test the rules with you and each other.

When we put the play groups together at the shelter they bark and jump around and act like goofballs for a bit as well. I do think it is perfectly natural for a display of goofiness.

My Doog is 9 months and is fully in the brat phase. He will steal toys, be pushy, rude and just generally a complete pest with my adult dogs.
They don't become "dogs" until they are about 2 and some dogs even later than that. You may be expecting too much from two puppies. I'm sure the trainers on here can give you lots of ideas for how to move them from goofy puppy to calming and containing...but I'm pretty sure they will tell you that puppies are puppies as well.

I might be getting a 5 month old standard poodle puppy in the near future for Service Dog training...and a friend of mine has her litter mate as a pet dog. They haven't seen each other for quite a while...but when I get Shimmy, and she sees Mia for the first time in months, I thoroughly expect the excitement level to hit the roof! Not necessarily because they're littermates...but basically because they're two young pups that have similar play styles and are the same age

Erin...a Standard...omg! You will have to tell me how training works..if it works really, really well...lie to me make me feel better . That aside, yes I would anticipate they will be fruity, because Standards have a different style of play than many other breeds and their cues are often misread by other breeds.

After the video stopped we pulled them apart and he kept trying to jump back on him.
