If the same command fails three times - then you will need to help her along.

The trainer was adament that we never continoulsy say the same command (like "sit....sit....sit...sit, Bailey...sit) or the puppy will learn not to perform until told more than once.

Good luck!!
Great information. It will help a lot of us in training our babies.
i think that puppy is doing wonderful for her age.
