I admire all the hard work and dedication you've put into teaching each of them (especially considering how different they are from one another). They're so lucky to have such a great owner that truly understands the meaning of positive training.

Even photo taking can be challenging because both she and our Lab mix get too excited about treats.

They are really good at that one thing so one would think I could attempt other group cues. But even simple rounds of "sit, down, stand" or a group come leads to one dog snapping at another for crossing whatever invisible lines of personal space they choose to have at that moment. So I stick to individual training sessions but they all very much need the crate/mat/patience work while waiting their turn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410993180658480326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-51435668247198437292015-06-01T20:30:06.830-06:002015-06-01T20:30:06.830-06:00I couldn't agree more.

She is (mostly) well-behaved and calm in public, and has a whole repertoire of tricks up her sleeve.
