| When Is A Good Age to Start Training
We started the day we brought Missy home at 8 weeks of age.
When we get ready to feed her, we put her in a SIT position until we put her food & water down on the floor. Once we put the food down, we tell her "OK".
We also put her in a SIT position to get a treat. No sit - no treat!
We've also put up bells on a string attached to the patio door. We rang the bells and told her "Out". She rings the bells when she has to go outside to go potty! She caught on to this immediately. This is nice as she isn't barking to go out!*!
The sooner you start training, the better it'll be for everyone.
Happy Holidays. |
