My kids quit fighting after they started helping with dog training

It turned our hectic afternoons into calm teamwork times. Now the dog obeys more and the kids are learning to be patient.

Wait, does this really work that well with siblings?

Hey that's great! My niece and nephew were the same way when we got their spaniel. We started having them take turns giving the "wait" command at doors, which gave them a shared goal. The dog learned faster with all the practice, and the kids got less impatient when they saw how repetition worked.

Honestly @quinng85 that sounds like a whole production. Tbh the dog just wants a treat, not a whole teamwork seminar.
