Joey and Tank each learned sit, stay, lay down, and touch in about 5 minutes per trick. I would say that they are quite easily trained! Potty training, on the other hand...it's not marking/peeing - they NEVER do that in the house, but they have taken quite a long time to not poop in the house. I think they have it now, knock on wood
We don't have any girls, but Joey is more independent, and Tank is a COMPLETE mammas boy...he clings to me whenever I'm home, haha.
