is it possible to train two dogs together?

***Please note that I am NOT a dog trainer, so I am just sharing my experience with my own dogs.. 
I may be doing wrong things and I am open to suggestions :) ***


Well I am trying, just for fun :D
I've read that is not possible because they are too distracted or for other reasons.
I am not really trying to train them, but yesterday when they started to be bored / too much tennisball obsessed I started with Sit - Down command and it works really good!

Now, Buddy doesn't give paw and I saw he doesn't like to be touched on the paws.

I will progress with some "stay" maybe in the following days and then let's see :D
It's just because I don't want to stop Jago training and these first days I don't want to exclude Buddy from our activities.

Aren't they cute???

  1. I have two dogs as well and haven't had a problem training them both! Great Video! One of my dogs does high-five too! ;)

  2. I had a puppy who I need to housetrain. he followed the other dog's behavior and I had him trained in no time. If one dog is easier to train I think it will help the other dog to learn.

  3. thanks for your experiences!
    Jago seems more calm since I have Buddy.
    Buddy is older so I think Jago is learning that he can also relax once in a while!!!
    It's fun to see them doing the tricks together!

    Jago does high-five and a couple of other tricks :P I'll try to teach Buddy as well :)

  4. Well in my opinion training two dogs at a same wouldn't be as productive as it seems. The dogs' focus will be distracted and the concentration that you'll be giving will be divided... making the other one learn and the other one less.
