| How long did it take for your pup to learn their name??? I'm just curious to find out how long did it take for your pup to learn their name when you call them? I've only had Gia for 3 days so I know it's going to take sometime for her to learn plus she's only 9 wks. old. |

| Say her name and give her a tiny bit of a treat, repeat this over and over. she will know her name by the end of the day. Then do it when she is away from you and add come when she starts to come. Mine come running when I say come. Unless of course they are more interested in something else. LOL |

| I've been trying but it's like she's in another world (keep calling her by her name). Everyone has been saying her name over & over & over since Friday. I guess we've been so focused on potty training her (which is going great) that we've haven't put that much energy into her recognizing her name. She sleeps so much though she'll sleep about every 45 mins give or take. And when she wakes up she's fully energized but poor thing runs her energy out so fast because she starts running all over the house. |

Are you givng her a treat when you say her name? I held mine, said the name and gave the treat. Just a tiny bit, cause if you give them too much, they get full an lose interest. | |

| It seems to me that Sissy almost knew her name immediately. I didn't do anything special except continue saying it over and over. She was 13 weeks old when I got her.

| The only time I've been giving her a treat is when she uses poty in the right place (on her wee we pad) and she's been getting about 7 treats a day for doing a good job. So should I start giving her treats when I call her name and she comes to me too? |

| Shylah learned hers quick, but she won't come if she sees something better to do. Like play in the dirt!
