When I first got Piccolo, someone suggested doing some things with a clicker and it really helped us bond. I don't do it anymore but there are some tips on the internet about using a clicker to teach tricks, etc.
Another thing someone suggested was throwing a small treat down the steps. Piccolo absolutely loved that when she was younger. Then she would run back up and sit and wait for me to do it again. It really drained some energy. I think I used almost frozen green bean pieces.
Anyway, enjoy the puppyhood journey. |
