I was watching Victoria Stillwell and she was showing how to teach a dog their name. She said just say the name and give him a treat. Do that over over again. Ive tried that with Chloe and it worked.
Having 2 small dogs is the same as having 1 small dog in my opinion. The workload is the same. They keep eachother company so I dont feel as bad when I leave the house. Its when you have 3 dogs that it seems like the workload doubles!!. Im sure your husband will come around once he bonds with the new one!!! dont worry too much. My boyfriend was sorta like that when we got our third dog. He was like "Are you crazy? 3 dogs!!!!" but now hes totally in love with her and says he couldnt imagine life without her!!!.
Did you find Cricket on petfinder.com? because I think I saw him on there when I was looking for a rescue yorkie. I hope everything works out and please keep us updated!.
Good Luck!!

Hmm... I've never heard of Victoria Stitwell... We did change his name to Trooper and he seems like he's getting it, but I think I might try that recommendation with the treats for back up.
And yes, I did find him on Petfinder! I fell in love the moment I laid eyes on him and thought that he and Deegan looked so much alike - I HAD to save him!
As for the dh & Troop - they are getting along famously. DH seems to like to have him around. They cuddle in bed, he's been teaching Trooper some basic commands too. They're gonna make it. The only thing though is with Deegan. He's still kinda jealous and still trying to hump poor Troop. I hope this passes - soon.
