Thank you C C Kent!

He doesn't bark and does know the 'no' command, and I think 'stay' - unless he was just pooped and didn't want to jump down off the couch when I went to the kitchen. Not quite sure that he knows, sit, stay, etc - which would make sense for the show ring. I am not going to teach him any tricks until the potty training is done - I'm not working too hard on the potty training until he gets neutered (next Tuesday). He is kept in his pen all day, unless we have him on the couch or in our arms - he sleeps in a baby's playpen in our bedroom.

My hubby will be home this weekend - so maybe with both of us here he will be more outgoing. I just really want to ensure I get this right, so Carson will have a happy life where he loves many people and isn't scared of everything.

QUESTION - When I get in his pen to try and play, he doesn't want to. Is it possible that this is his space and I shouldn't be in there?

Thanks again!
