Hi there!

I have now 3 dogs of our own and 1 foster dog.

I said in my previous response that if you want to train your dogs you are better off training one at a time since it is difficult to get full attention of each of your dogs.

However, once you have trained your dog(s) you can maintain their obedience together. Furthermore, you can give different commands to different dogs at one time.

>One thing that puzzles me is that when l trained my older dog - it was suggested that you get his attrention by callin his name and then saying sit. When you want 4 dogs to sit at the same time should you maybe say pups sit or dogs sit, so it is best not to use their names to get their attention.

What I have been training my 3 dogs goes like this:

I have all 3 dogs sit and wait. I move to the other corner of the room and give wait (stay) command to 2 dogs. (I look at Holly and tell her to wait. I look at Noah and tell him to wait.) Then, I look at Daisy and tell her to come. She comes to me but the other 2 are still staying. Then, I call Noah to come while Holly still stays. Lastly, I call Holly and I have all 3 dogs in front of me. I give all 3 dogs praise and treat.

Each dog can recognize his/her name and act accordingly. Your puppies are still too young but if you keep calling each name to get attention I think they will soon respond to what you ask them to do.

Good luck
