| Gus knew sit at a very young age. My breeders daughter was already working with them before they went to their forever homes. Your baby may not want to sit for very long, but I started training Gus right off the bat.

| Lily learned to sit in about 30 minutes at 10 weeks old. But that's all we have tried so far. |

| As soon as she's settled in, start teaching! They are like sponges when they are little. I'd probably work on name recognition and "come" first, but that's just me! You might look into clicker training - I bet you'd love it!
