But she learned the fun tricks really easily and by 8 weeks, she could do them all. Keep working at it, she'll get it! Buy some Yorkie Yummies, mine will do ANYTHING for one! | |

| You could start training her now. Just by repetition alone she will get the hang. Just be patient and don't rush her, she will figure it out. Congratulations.

Thor's Human Donating Member | By all means, start training her now. She'll never be smarter than she is now. If you are having trouble getting her to focus, try training her after a play session when she's a little calmer. Don't expect her to pay attention for more than a few minutes at a time. Let us know how it goes.

| Start as you mean to go on - but be aware that her attention span is going to be very short, so any training needs to be little and often. The younger they are trained, the better.

| Start as soon as possible ... but Lesley is right when they are very little ... they don't have the attention span of an older dog training should be very fast and often at this age

| I think a few minutes a day now will be a good idea.
