It would be interesting to know the answer to this.

I find it hard to believe that a favourite dog or horse, working not, wouldn’t get talked to and named by it’s owner. At a minimum, it’s useful, as you can get a particular dog to do something when it’s addressed individually.

That can work, particularly with smarter breeds that can understand context, but it actually isn't anywhere close to best practice.

MUCH better is to train separate commands for the same action for each dog.
