Hello,

I can certainly relate with the difficulty of training multiple dogs. I think MaxHollyNoah is right. The best way is to train separately, but it is much more time consuming.

I only have two dogs and am finding this to be the biggest hurdle in training - just the very fact that there are two.

I have discovered one option, which is still not as effective as training separately - but- we have a park almost next door to us that has a tennis court. I have been taking them into the fenced tennis court. Right now there are no nets, so there are these posts sticking up that the nets attach to. I secure one of my dogs to one of these posts and then take the other one a little distance away and work with him. Then I switch them. They are still a little distracted by each other but not as much as I thought they would be.

I do occasionally take them out separately, but not as often as I should.

Hope this helps.

Kathy
