Puppy Manners....

[ShellyBeggs]

My dogs have always been taught to all sit or drop in a row, they get a pat and then a treat. I always mix up who goes first but usually its who ever sat the fastest or is giving the best sit.

I am trying to teach the two pups this and its absolute chaos....

I can get them all to sit in a row but as soon as I pat one dog the pup or pups (if I pat the older BC first) all run up and jump on me or the other dog to get attention first. And its more over the attention rather than the treat.

I then take them back and make them sit and start all over..........but no matter how many times I got back to the start, they can't wait.....thinking their attention span was too short I tried starting with the pups....and tried it at "superman speed"....but this excited them more.

How can I teach them to wait until their turn???

I have never had any problems teaching this before but I have never had double the trouble before (2 pups at once) ......I think the compete with each other and make it competition.....

I was thinking of using a tie back maybe.........but help from the experts would be great.....

Thanks gurus!
