Part of the new training program Delilah and I are taking is to practice at home what we learned in class.
Here’s the problem I’m having.
Every time I pull out the treat bag, both dogs run over and sit in front of me.
I say, Delilah wait and walk about six feet away.
I look at Delilah and say front.
Both dogs run and sit in front of me.
I say yes and give the treat to Delilah.
I say Sampson wait and walk about six feet away.
I look at Sampson and say front.
Both dogs run and sit in front of me.
How do people with multiple dogs train?
I had this post all planned out and then….
I saw a video by Pamela at Something Wagging This Way Comes. It seems Pamela is always helping me out with something!
Pamela was working with Honey while Cherie stood on the sidelines cheering them on.
Suddenly it all made sense! Separate the dogs!
Why didn’t I think of this?
My house is fairly open, so I can’t gate one-off, but I can put one in the bedroom while I work the other or leave one in the house and work the other outside.
Thanks Pamela, once again you’re a lifesaver. 😉
Of course when we are out on the trail and both dogs respond you won’t hear me complaining. 🙂
