Our zoe is 21/2 and she was 8 weeks when we got her...she was completely trained at 12 weeks...she did awesome....we did the reward with treats....although at first it was confusing for her because she thought all she had to do was get all four feet out the door and then come right back in and she would recieve the treat and we went along with that for awhile but when we started having to take out a loan for all the treats we were going through we put an end to that....it helps that I stayed home with her all day....It took alot of time those weeks while we were training but it paid off.....i guess I was really lucky....(we still give treats for going outside) Zoe's mommy...hope we will be that lucky with the new puppy... |
