[QUOTE=Hazelzmibaybee;3272232]i know she is a puppy, and i know dogs in general have short attention spans. i don't expect too much from her, especially since she is a puppy. i just wanted a little advice on things i could do to keep her from doing that so i could start practicing it now.[/QUOTE]

Hi again!

If your vet gave you the OK to start walking Hazel outside weeks ago, and she's only 13 weeks old now, I think I would look for a new vet. Not all vets are familiar or up to date on toy breeds.

Puppies should NOT be going on walks outside until 10 days after their final set of shots.

Your yard is only safe if no other dogs, cats or birds have access to it. That's why most people just keep their pups in until they're a bit older. They can catch so many things while out walking. They can sniff it or walk in it and you won't even know it.

Practicing all day might be boring her - try to limit how much time you spend training add in some playtime - it still trains them.

I think everyone has already tried to tell you that the best tip they can give you is patience. Be consistand and patient.

Your pup is very young - anything she learns is a plus. You are expecting too much if you think she's not going to get distracted. Please remember that she is a terrier - and that some have even a less attention span than other breeds. They are all about the chase/moving objects.

I know you love Hazel, that you're excited about training her, and only want to protect her but please remember that she is only a baby and that it will all take time.

Good Luck with her - she is a doll!
