How do you manage training multiple dogs? Do you train one and crate the others? Have you trained dogs to do stays or something while the others are training? Or something else? Currently, some of mine are fit-pitchers and I train less because of it.

Some of you said that you'd like to try the parkour challenge, but your dog didn't have the skills. Well, one particular skill -- go around an object -- makes up, in one way or another, half the behaviors in this entry-level challenge. Over the weekend, I plan to record video teaching you how to train this foundation skill, which is useful not only for Parkour but agility, conditioning, and more. Are there other basic/foundation skills for dog sports that you'd like to learn? Post them here!

I made this for a student in my current Backyard Training Matters course. He had a question, so I answered it via video, and I thought some of you might like it too! If you wonder why I looked down several times, it was to avoid my Border Collie's ball. :)
