it will get better. but you have to give it time, patience, and a wealth of love. there are a lot of wonderfully smart people here on YT and i am sure you will get all the help and support you need...but you have to show that you are patient and willing to tough this out. |
Sure I will tought it out. My Pom is not 100% trained, but I would say 95%. But he is very good with many tings in obedience and knows I am boss. he does everything to please his mommy
. It only took me a few tries to get him to learn all the stuf he knows and it is many. I only hope I can teach this yorkie also. But I understand I must not do it with my current puppy around as they wont listen.
I can put my poms best and most delicoius snack right dead in front his face on the floor and tell him wait for 3 minutes the I say ok. If I dontn say ok he will never touch it. I leave the room and come back and it is still there and he stil llooking patiently at it lol
