They are so funny! When I was teaching sammy sit, down an paw he'd look at me with this confused face andI'm say sit and he'd give me paw instead. And he ALWAYS got food and sleep wrong. My daughter would say sleep and he'd go to his bowl.
THis is what I did- when he'd get confused I wouldn't reward him. I would gentl say no and put him back in he starting position. For exampl, if said sit and he gave me paw, I'd say no and stand him back up. It took a few timesbut he got it. I remember once, we went on for like 20 minutes. THen I felt bad and gave up till next time. |
