After a recent move, they both need some re-training as we have. Any new generous neighbors on our daily walks. How do I use this method to train two dogs on the same home.

Is that possible, maybe you already have videos and I may not know where to look?

A blessing that he pick to do on his own, we have an older Cocker Spaniel, when we give Charlie his cookie he drops the first one for the Cocker then waits for his cookie, we never trained him to do this.

She was never trained to a clicker but the way I have done has worked. Opening my hand underneath her mouth has helped as well. She is a very gentle Labrador who just gets over excited by treats (which I only give if she has carried out something well) but I am not so sure my way of dealing with snatching would work with all Labradors? She never snatches now which is lovely for my hands and fingers!

After several treats, he began Tom get the idea.
