Training should start early, 15 weeks is perfect age to begin, train one command 5 to 7 minutes several times throughout the day. Terriers have short concentration spans, more than 7 minutes they are no longer focused on you. When she knows that one command, move on to another command.
Have fun, Cassie looks like a smart little puppy, if she is food motivated, she will learn fast. | Thank you for the advise. She's 15 weeks, so I need to start with the training. |
