I own 3. I walk them each seperately 2 or 3 times a week. My pup gets walked alone about 5 times a week. Then, I walk the whole group almost daily for about an hour.
I train them each seperately almost every day. Some get more time, some less, depending on what we are working on and our show schedule.
When I am working one dog, the other two are either chilling inside and away from the action or they are crated. Sometimes I intentionally crate everyone in sight of each other and rotate through the dogs quickly. Everyone is extremely eager to work when they come out for their turns.
When I train in classes, I try to find times when I can work different dogs back to back. Twice a week, I can work all three in classes. I bring two crates and rotate dogs.
For performance training, I am the sole handler, although occasionally my husband will run agility with some of them just for fun. My step son has run them on occasion as well. For day to day obedience, my dogs will listen to anyone in the household. I do the actual training, but the crew will take instructions from the whole family.
It's easiest if you just build a lifestyle around it. Our dogs are involved in almost every aspect of our lives.
