[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 244821, member: 12198"] That level of attention and focus from all 3 at the same time happens only when I'm holding a couple pounds of frozen goodies from the abattoir or when I come out of the barn with a bucket of warm fresh milk. They've learned if they move a muscle I hand out nothing. When I have milk for them they have to wait patiently as I move the bucket and allow each dog turns, if any dog moves I remove the bucket until they're all calmly back in position and if they do it twice they miss a turn so they've learned quickly to focus and await their turn. The black boy has only been here a couple of months and young so still learning where his focus needs to be. The smallest pup is 85lbs and largest is over 140lbs so unruliness over goodies would end up in someone being hurt. I finally have a wide angle (taken at 12mm) so I can capture all 3 being good :) [/QUOTE]
