My sister got a Morkie 4 months ago. He spends half his time with me and I pretty much train him to all sorts of things. Although, i think i should lay off the water because he keeps ringing the bell to go outside every 20 minutes.

Anyhow, he responds to me more than his owners. I think it's because I spend way more time with him. His commands I taught are from YouTube.

He is potty trained and other skills at 6 months include:
Ringing bell to go outside, sitting, laying down, staying, leave items alone, fetching and retrieving toys, jumping up, crouching on hind legs, playing dead on "bang, bang!"-- rolls over, understands "leash" and holds head up while i attach a leash, jumping up, pulling, releasing on command, shaking paw, goes to crate on "go to sleep" command. Can identify from 2-3 different toys and fetches on command.

Working on loose leash training, but he hates the leash. I am thinking of strapping him to my waste and just walking around the house for a weekend... any tips on loose leash training?
