well as you know i have 3 dogs. there all hyper and they will listen to me sometimes well i want to teach them when i say sit for ALL of them to sit but i always have to raise my voice and kinds holler at them. but the puppy i just got is still working on those cammands. ok
rocky is a German shepherd chow mix
tigre is a Pure bred pit bull terrier
and roxy we are thinking is a collie mix
( oh and this is off of the subject but i put her picture next to a collie puppies picture and the look almost alike sept the color!!!! )
any advice will work!

What I do is work on all my dogs individually.
If you have good ground work done and have good pecking order you should be able to get them to settle enough to sit. Working with each dog individually without the other ones there to bug or distract is key to establishing good ground work and pecking order between you and the dog.

Remember a tired puppy is a good puppy:)

I know what you mean, I have 7 and it is a freakin circus all the time!

I start with them individually each day after work, then in the evening they all go for walks, to wear them down, then they are all together. I beleive they all have to have daily time together w/ me so that jealousy doesnt form too strongly.

Its working, but hard!
