It's up to you on how many you want to use on the hair but I prefer to use 3 as it tends to pick out the larger fish and helps counter balance the hook. It's much more easier if you use a pole as well as you can literally place the biscuit in front of their noses.

This is the method I'd use for dog biscuits but I also use bread on the hook too AND if fishing close in (1-2 rod lengths out) I only use the bread to cast no float the method is easy
hook the bread dip it in the water and underhand cast it out
this is a French 20lb that took the bread --
Yes I know it looks small but it had'nt spawned yet so was quite fat
