I was at my friends house yesterday and her dog is a maltese. She knows the commands "sit" "come" "lay down" but the ones that got me the most was that she taught her "high five" (when she says HIGH FIVE, her maltese would jump and put one hand up and touch hers), "BANG!" (and she'll play dead) and the command and importance of "NO!" because my friend will put several treats on the ground and her maltese would go and is real close to putting it in her mouth and she'll say NO! and her maltese will back away and sit down. Then she'll say "good girl!" and then "get your treat!" and she'll go eat one.. then she'll go to the second one and my friend will say "NO!" again, so on so forth.
She forgot at what age she started teaching her all of this, but I want to start teaching Fred commands as well and he's 13 weeks.
Should I start now before it's too late??
