We are in the process of learning: car coming - which means to go off to side of road, sit and stay, and how to ring a bell when wanting to go outside. |
Wow what a smarty pants Hot Rod is! And Maggie too!
Jeter knows a few tricks, like shake hands, Kiss Mommy, Where's _____, ( fill in name of our family or his toy and he will go get that person or correct toy), and dance, and sit pretty, (he jumps up on a little foot stool and poses for me! ) he also know commands like stay, sit, down, Kennel up (when i need him safe in his kennel) and Potty ( go to the back door )
Axl, age 19 weeks, has started to pick up on Jeter's behavior so he can do a few things, he started following Jeter when he was just 10 weeks old and he picked up on them fast.
Yumi Yasha, also 19 weeks old, doesn't listen right now, she is a spit fire
Today I did get her to sit when I was trying to bring her inside after playing in the back yard, she takes off running all over the yard and thinks I am playing a game with her. I usually have to pretend to have a treat for her to get her to come to me. Today i just said SIT and Oh my she listened and I scooped her up fast! It is the very first time she listened at all to a command so I have some HOPE yet
