Matese thank you! I think we will contact a trainer and sign up for some classes for Chewie. We have tried to use "sit" when giving a treat and he will lay down. I'm not sure if the previous owner tried to train him briefly and now he is confused. He is very smart, we trained him to "go to bed" at night and that didn't take long at all. With the collar the picture of him with his long hair was the picture we got before we picked him up. We use a harness, I hate the regular collars I feel like it chokes them.
When people come in the door he runs right to them barking and jumping. We did buy a baby gate so I think I will just block him off at first and let him calm down.
Oh and for the weight he is about 12 pounds! So it may just be he is a bigger baby than some yorkies! |
