    Calling one at a time?

    I strongly believe this is because they are all named similar...starting with C. But how do i get them to come when called...one at a time? I say corona come...they all come...i say cainan come...cainan and corona come! Coco is pretty good about coming with her own name, but sometimes she just acts like she never heard the name part! It's very frustrating especially with cainan...hopefully his classes will help him with some of these issues (as explained in prior threads) but anyways, i dont know how to just get one at a time?

    Wish I could help, but I'm just thankful when anybody comes when I call.

    When I want mine to come one at a time I tell them all to "wait", and then I call each one individually with their name or nickname and then "come" right after. If I don't say wait, then they all come at once for some reason. Lol..that probably wasn't of any help though. Hopefully someone else will have some better tips.

    Sit down in the middle of the floor with the nail clippers in your hand. That will make the other two head the other way.

    I'm so glad someone brought this up. I thought I was the only one with that problem, I'm now in the process of giving a sit stay command to one and call the other. Hasn't worked too well yet....they both sit stay and they both wait for one another to come...lol...Hope someone has a good suggestion for this.
