Anyway i have just a few questions for you all.
1. At what age should i start brushing her teeth, and how do i brush them? I have looked for a thread about it but cant seem to find one. Start now, be gentle and patient, she may not like you messing with her mouth at first, but then she'll get used to it.
2. At what age should i start brushing her coat (i dont want it to get matted)? You really need to start now, that puppy fur matts with a quickness and she needs to know that brusing is going to be a daily thing with you guys.
3. What age can i start to put a little clip in her hair so she gets used to something being up there? I'd start off by just messing with the top of her head, go through the motions of putting a top knot it, and when her hair is long enough I'd start off with just the plastic bands to pull it up. Once she is used to that, then start putting in clips and bows and all those other cute things
4. What age can i start to give her treats? I don't know the real answer for this. I've been using cheese, small bits of it, and Rizzo loves it I've been training him with it since the week after I brought him home...
5. What age can i start to train her to 'sit' ect? Anyone got any tips? Start training now, you should be able to teach her at least basic tricks. Sit should be the first one, it's a great starter and there is a great training booklet on one of the stickes in the training section. 
As i had so many questions i thought it would be best to post in this section. Hope someone can help me with a few of these.
Thank you xxx |
Good luck, training these little ones is tough but really rewarding
Sounds like you had an fantastic weekend with Poppy
