Re: Help! Training Puppy around 3 dogs and another puppy?

Any suggestions on how to train him at home without the middle child getting in the way? he is SO smart, but he can only sit and lay down. When there were just two, I was able to train our 1 yr. old on many things far quicker. The baby just wants to follow the others around, and sometimes it's as if I am not even there. i am grateful I trained the 1 yr old so well to come, and stay etc., so he follows suit, but I need to train him 1 on 1 so he know's I am boss. i would prefer to do it onsite, but maybe someone has some input on advice?
Thx.

Train your pup in the garden and keep the older 2 busy inside with a frozen filled kong or a bone. This is what I have to do with my 2 NI's if i try and train them together they just want to play
