- I have read and been told that you should not say the dog's name when
- it has been bad because it should associate its name with good things
- (whether it is a good dog or not...). I find it very hard to stick
- to this rule, especially with more than one dog. I THINK the dogs
- understand when one is bad but not the others, but I'm not sure.
- One thing which is really funny is when I tell one to sit and I get
- two sits! (The puppy hasn't figured this one out yet.) I'd like
- to be able to have each dog understand when a command is for it --
- does anyone have any suggestions?
