First time puppy & Yorkie owner - I confess I may now be addicted! My baby Ellie turned 4 months three days ago, and we've had her for just over a month after being with her parents and siblings until then. My parents who live very close took her sister Gina Mia and they see each other almost every day. Within the first week she knew her new name, how to fetch and played hide & seek with her 1 yr old feline brother Buddy, give kisses (even to the cat), and slept through the night with no potty breaks. By the second week, she could identify toys, would take toys to her brother, would use either the puppy pad or would come to us when she had to go out, and identified mommy, daddy, Buddy, grandma, grandpa, Spike (parents Min Pin), and sister Gina when told to "find" each, barks only when house is approached. Now she knows heel, stop & go, come, sit, stay, up, locations - bathroom, bedroom, couch, window, front door, back door, our walk path, path to Grandma's, "pate" time (wet food, lol). I have been amazed!!! We are considering agility classes. Yet her sister is the complete opposite - can't seem to get the hang of potty training, bites and fights with every ounce of her 4lb body like a pitbull when being groomed, chews absolutely anything, and thinks every moment is play time, lol! |
