Be sure to praise and maybe treat for obeying.
For walking training, use a 3 foot nylon leash with the harness. No retractables.
A lot of people have great success with clicker training.
Here is a great post from Britster about teaching "come": http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/3405839-post3.html
Are there any other specific commands you are having trouble with? |
Yes i am but I have no idea how to make him lay down or watch me and how would i reward him in a way to let him know thats the action i like him doing? Thanks for the video by the way it helped me loads
The only command I'm really having problems with is come he never wants to and when he gets close to me n I try to touch him he tries to dodge me lol
