Windy And Sunny

[Puppydog 27]

my family's dog is named windy and she is a very energetic dog. We also have a dog named sunny. Sadly, we can't realy train eaither one because when we try to train one the other wants attention.But every once and a while, we can get them to do somethin special

Hi! Welcome to DTA. I'm sure you'll enjoy looking around the site.

Well done on managing to get your dogs to do tricks sometimes. I know it can be hard trying to train 2 dogs simultaneously.

If you really want to train tricks what about just shutting one of the dogs into another room for a few minutes while you train one and then swap? They'd get used to the idea after a few sessions. If this stresses them too much then have a competition with someone else in your family to see who can be first to train 5 tricks to one of the dogs, you both train at once in separate rooms... you could get the rest of your family to act as judges I should think you'd all have a lot more fun than you can begin to imagine.

I like running dog's suggestions! Maybe I should get another dog....... Welcome to the DTA!

running_dog's suggestion is what most 'multi dog' families do when training. Good luck and enjoy the DTA

LOL yes, it's a good job that good training ideas aren't copyright!

Hi and welcome. Multi-dog households can be a challenge sometimes - but babygates work wonders. You'll learn lots here, great ideas, loads of fun. Try the suggestions above, competitions are fun - or I work one dog at a time, with the other learning to wait patiently behind a baby gate (helps them to learn self-control). I live alone so have no choice. Lots you can do, just keep at it. Have fun on the site!
