WORKING WITH A GROUP
~ Yes, it can be done!

Initial training occurs one-on-one. Once the animals each understand the cues working alone with distractions, they can be worked in pairs, and eventually as a whole group together.

It is important that the animals recognize their names and clearly understand cue discrimination, as the first challenge for the trainer is to explain that the cue is only for you, if your name came before it.

This is a complex skill and the ultimate in "listen and follow directions!"

Animals working in a group must have excellent impulse
control, a solid stay, and the ability to share attention
and rewards.

As you can see, even the cat can learn to grasp the concept!

Leave-it is a little more difficult for the cat, but she's learning!
