| When is a good time to start training? I have had Jobey for 2 weeks now(he'll be 8 weeks old tomorrow ) and I'm curious as to when to start training him simple commands? I know he is a baby but I want to do this the right way seeing how this is my first fur baby. Any ideas or helpful suggestions? |

| We started when chachi was that age. The simplier commands like sit and lay down were easier to teach at that age

| Sometimes it is so hard just to get him to be still for a second. He is all over the place but I'll start trying the easier commands. I don't know how I'm gonna get him to be still, he won't even let me take a picture of him. |

| My Kaba is having some issues with training. It was such a long battle to get her to lay down and sit. I basically had to wait until she did it on her own and then praise her big. We started with sit and sometimes I think she doesnt know the command just gets tired staring at me waiting for a treat. Very aggravating. Since we incorporated lay down, she no longer sits. Its all very frustrating but I try and work with her a few times a day on the commands and after we have a firm grasp on each we will start incorporating more.
