Sherry LaMont Webboard User Reg: 03-02-2010 Posts: 9 Loc: Texas Offline	Is there an "easy" way to train 3 dogs simultaneously without 3 handlers? I seem to be knocking my head against the wall with my 3. Any ideas?

Kelly Moderator Reg: 06-03-2005 Posts: 1495 Loc: Offline	My dogs get a little rowdy in the crates when they see me working with the others. Then the dog I am working with will get distracted and worry about why the others are making a fuss. My dogs will all be out as a pack and will do random commands like here and sit and down. They all have their own release word, as well as one for the pack. But I don't actively train a new command or exercise when they are all together. When teaching each command or exercise, it's best to have the dog alone, with as few distractions as you can. They will learn much faster if the rest of the pack isn't whining and barking. I also really enjoy the 1:1 time I get to spend with each of the dogs, and I dare say they do too Edited to add: This is all my own experience of course. Others' opinions may vary
