But I want her to be able to sit down, and listen but she has the attention span of a three year old which is adorable! because she wants to look at everything and smell everything and then pees on the floor which I have been putting the wee pads down for her to go potty on which has been helping cause she gets up at night and uses the potty and lays back down. |
She is
just a baby... It will take time &
lots of patients. Human babies don't learn that fast either & have incredibly short attention spans for several years. It takes week/months to get through each stage. Babies & puppies aren't that much different in a lot of ways. She
just got to her new home & hasn't even figured that out yet.
'Sit' is one of the easiest, but she's
only 2 mo old. In the meantime, everytime you see her sit on her own, say the word sit. Our yorkie was 11 weeks when we got her. It took her a couple weeks to get to a stage where she was able to focus a little. Work with her when she is not in a high energy mode helps, and only for about 5 minutes at a time with tiny treats. It's not reasonable to expect these little tykes to accept commands, collars, leashes, walking, etc all at once even though we usually are so anxious for it all to happen at once. When she's old enough, sign her up for puppy classes & be sure to do your homework. Puppyhood is a process.
If you don't want her in bed with you everytime she yelps, then don't let it get started. Have you tried a night light? Our little girl was happier at night with more than one night light. Sometimes just talking to her quietly a little may settle her down for more sleep time.
Get your creative imagination to work, cuz she'll probably have you using every bit of it before your done. There's almost always more than one right way to do everything, so keep an open mind. What works for one dog doesn't necessarily work for another. Take advantage of YT. There is so much helpful information here. Good luck!
