| Train to sit? Old dog New trick:) I rescued a little 5-7 yr old yorkie..age best guess from Vet...will I ever be able to teach him to sit, stay, and come. He is super smart I can see that from how fast he learned the house hold routine. Any suggestions are very very welcome |

Train him the same way you would a pup. Use the hand gestures, key words, and treat and praise. Good luck and let us know how it goes. | |

| Not only are they the best looking, they are very fast learners. I agree, train the same as a puppy. Including puppy class. It's a great place to start learning how to train them. |

| I just started clicker training with Mimi to sit, down, stay and come. It's working great. I give her the command to sit, then when she does I click and say good girl and give her a treat. I had to push her tush down the first few time, but now she has the hang of it. Now when she sees the clicker she gets excited. I got the book "Click and Train Your Dog" by Mary Ray. I like her method. Hope this helps a little.

| Roxie was 3 years old when I got her. We took a puppy training class at Petsmart for 8 weeks. We worked with her dilligently at home as well. She learned sit, down, stay, leave it, rollover, and a few other commands. I wasn't sure if it would work, since she wasn't a puppy, but it did!

| A goo start would be to start training the dog by "association". When he sit say SIT, when he come say COME . Best of luck and good job for rescuing. |
