I just wanted to say that I am amazed at how smart my 9 week old puppy is! She learned to sit with two treats last night and has done it all day without a treat. She fetches,brings the ball to me and drops it for me to throw again. I tell her to sit and wait, and she does! Then I throw the ball and we do it again. It's amazing! This is my first yorkie after owning maltese and golden retrievers. My other dogs are smart but NEVER learned any thing at 8 weeks and almost instantly. Which only makes me wonder even more, why in the world are they so hard to potty train??!!
I'm wondering what other fun things you all teach your puppy to do?
