Prince won the prize and got put in his crate last night. He was begging, so I put him in the cage and gave him his treat. I left him in there for about 15 minutes and he just sat and stared until I let him out. He spent A LOT of time in a crate at his last owners so he's no stranger to it. Ricky on the other hand, does not do as well in a crate.
After I let Prince out, I started working on their "stay" command. Ricky doesn't have the attention span that Prince does. He gets bored easily and gets up. Prince, on the other hand is so treat driven that he will sit and wait until he gets his treat. The only problem is, when I put him in a down/stay, he rolls over and wants belly rubs.
Prince is also somewhat confused with commands. He already knows, sit, down, shake, touch, and play dead. I think the hand commands I use with the words are what's confusing him.
I can't wait until they learn the "stay" command though. The pizza guy came last night and it would have been so nice to not have them barking at his heels. |
