| Maybe this is a stupid question: It's been 6 yrs since doing dog training and actually lil bear just did puppy school. Well now I'm looking into it for moose, she's 4 months as of may 6. When do you need to start obediance? I do some sit and down stuff with her but I want to do some competition stuff with her or maybe agility so I know I need to do it right. Also does anyone have a yorkie that is Canine Good Citizen? What exactly is it for?

| A puppy can start to learn as soon as 8 weeks old . These little ones are very intelligent . |

| Thanks, she goes May 7 to get her rabies and to figure out when to spay her. So I might have to wait till after her spay. I'm looking into teachers now, the dog park we have has someone who will be training so I think I might go there but I wanted to see about age first. Also do you have any suggestions about haw to find a good trainer? The one at the dog park is a canine good citizen evaluater and has behavior traing, so I'm guess she's pretty good.

| There's a new forum for agility and obedience for small dogs that I found out about from "yorkieagility". It's at MightyMightDogGear.com. They have lots of great info on how to get started. |
