Just an update. Charlie now knows:
sit
lay down
shake
stay
gimmie kisses
go potty ...or just potty
pick you up
we started crawl, but quit after awhile
spin right
I taught him spin right in just a few sessions over the weekend! I started with only the hand/finger signal but now that he is doing that 100% of the time I've added the verbal cue.
I stopped teaching him commands on the couch. I have him on the floor while I'm sitting in a chair. I also bought a clicker and it helped so much. Picked up all toys/distractions. Need to work on "come" now since he "stays" so well. Sometimes he will stay laying down or sitting just waiting on his treat, lol. Need to phase treat out and figure out a way to get him to just get up. Any ideas? For "come" should I just say his name and "come" while he is still in "stay"??? And click when he reaches my hand then treat? |
