LOL. We trained each dog seperately at first. We were going to a dog trainer (who was horrible) and she had us each handle a dog and we did that for 6-7 months. <---which is waaay too long considering what we know. Sprite and Ellie finished this womans whole training program. they dont go off leash, but we can hook a 6 foot leash to our belt loop, we cant touch the leash, and we can do commands quickly "sit, heel, down, sit, up, stand, stay, return to dog, heel, trot" it was really hard for us at the time. lol. and we had to do it soo quickly, and if you missed one thing then you didnt pass. sprite and ellie also got their canine good citizenship license (but you cant really tell). and it turns out that you only have to have been training for a year to become an evaluator for Canine good citizenship---so i became an evaluator. lol.
so wally is alpha dog, right? just remember that you give him treats first.
oh, this takes some time, but my dogs can do this:
have everyone sit stay, walk out 6 feet, and then call each dog to you. so i have all three sit stay, now i can walk out to around 20 feet, i call sprite, and she sits in front of me, then i call ellie and then gruffi. and i say "down, down down" and all three go down. and im trying to teach them to wait for the command. its a little hard, but it looks pretty awesome when all three wait and then do their command.
