for all of them. with the treats just be careful of what you give her, and how much you give her... you don't want to over do it, also if she loves her kibble, use that for basic training and then have a "high reward" treat for when she's really good.

For teeth brushing, I don't use a brush cause Harley's mouth is too small. I take a pea size glop on my finger, (Harley loves his toothpaste) so I make him sit (he thinks he's getting a treat), and I let him take a little lick, then I gently put one hand behind his head and use my finger to massage his gums and teeth as much as he'll tollerate. At I could only do it for like 10 seconds, I can get about 20-30 now.

Traing sit, how to brush, and tolerate hair clips are all really important to do when they are young. The sooner they get used to those things the better. Also "Drop it" is the most important trick I taught Harley, while we're still not 100% with dropping it if I'm not touching it... he immediately drops any toys or not allowed objects if I get my hand on it and say "drop it". to teach this give them a toy, have a treat in one hand and take ahold of the toy in thier mouth, if you push back just a little tiny bit and say drop it, combined with showing her the treat, she'll learn to drop anything you touch.

Good luck!
