None of my other 5 toy dogs have gone through any type of obedience training. All of them do pretty well in coming and all understand NO. With this being my first terrier, Zachary I think will need some training. I know these little guys can be very willful, or so I have read, and I need to be in control, particularily with all the other dogs in the house.
He knows NO and will stop inappropriate behavior when told. He comes to me when I can him but NOT my husband. He will sit when I push his butt down. I have only been working with him for a couple of days.
I am almost 65, retired for a few months now and haven't obedience trained a dog since the '60's (German Shephard). Somehow, I think Zachary is going to be just about as much of a challenge as Katie was!
