Search conformation classes in your area theyre usually once a week and will be very helpful to you and your little man...Remember never teach a show puppy to sit or laydown, any of the traditional pet tricks...never reward them or treat them unless theyre on all four legs. It is better to keep treats at a minimum and use them only while training as bait. Also they have to be socialized as not to be fearful in public places...take him for short walks on a show lead in you local pet stores and open malls so he gets used to moving around noise and other people...
hope this helps
good luck |
Thanks for the info. The lady I bought him from cut his hair like that to keep it out of his eyes. Im letting it grow back though. We have a 3 year old and an 18 month old so hes use to the noise and hes getting better about walking with me on a leash when we go to the park. He use to jump inthe bottom of my sons stroller and ride in there...lol...
I think there is a show coming up soon around here I can go watch. If not Ill go watch the one in september. Ill def find a good obediance class in the meantime.
