| Question on praising for multiples Both of my Yorkies are treat driven but when it comes to praising for potty what do most people do with more than one Yorkie? If one goes potty I give that one a treat and say Good Potty and keep praising but the other one is sitting there wanting a treat too. I have been rewarding the one that went potty with a treat and asking the other one to do a trick before getting rewarded. It hit me today that they are getting twice as many treats because of what I am doing. Any suggestions???

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I would only treat when potty. I have three and I can pretty much say go potty and they all will. Lol. But it takes time. Another way would be to take one at a time out

| They are potty pad trained and that is where the problem is. I have had Molly for only 3 weeks and when she goes potty I praise and treat her. When Macy sees Molly getting a treat, Macy is right there waiting for a treat too. Should I only praise and treat Molly then? I hope to get to the point when I say go potty they will both go at the same time.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yes maybe use different treats for potty. Something they just love. And then just a piece of dog food for the other when they think they need one to. It amazes me when you feed them a piece of dry dog food they think its a treat also.

| not sure but these little ones are so smart if you reward both each time theyll never go together cause they can each get TWO treats if they do it at separate times... |
