The rules don't state if its possible to "handle an animal" on more than one animal with a single action, however I personally think its perfectly reasonable to allow multiple animals to respond to the same command.
For example a dog handler uses simple commands like sit, come, stay, lie down, etc and as long as the dog considers the person issuing the commands as "his master" he will act appropriately to the issued command. If their are 4 dogs then all 4 should follow the commands from the same master. the dog trainer doesnt have to call each animal out and in fact to do that would require a higher level of training.
The only indication of more than one animal being treated by a single check is "rearing an animal".
Thoughts?

I'd be inclined to allow it, within reason.
The one command will be limited in it's utility, since you'll be ordering your four dogs (from the example) to attack a single target, you couldn't instruct them to split up and take on individual goblins or something.
I might go so far as to make it a seperate 'trick.' Traditionally, with police dogs, they are trained to ignore commands not directed at them specifically (by making eye contact, etc.), so that a single animal can be given a command without every dog present running off to try and fetch or whatever.
