| he can sit..and thats about it! I taught my baby Napoleon how to sit when we first got him at about 3 months. He is now 7 months and he still only knows how to sit. I really want to teach him to dance, beg, and rollover. What are some techniques I can use and how long does it usually take. (Meaning can I get him to learn how to rollover in one day?) Thanks for the replies. Love, Rita and Nappy |

| Repitition and treats, and praise, praise, praise. Have "school" every day, for short sessions, before meal time when baby is the most hungry. Gracie is 11 1/2 weeks. She knows how to sit. She almost has down nailed. She is starting to get the idea of crawl. She hates to shake hands and despises rolling over! I find she works best after a nap and before a meal, but not during the zoomies! Have you taken your baby to puppy school or some sort of training class?

| I took Howie to the puppy kindgergarten classes at Petsmart and they were great. $109 for 8 weeks and he really learned a lot that I would have never been able to teach him. We start the next level of training in the fall!

| Timmy knows how to sit, lie down and give me paw and he's now learning roll over (he's a fast learner).....Mimi hmmmm she's a little slower all she knows is sit. I've tried to teach her but she just doesn't get it. Timmy just turned 6 months and Mimi just turned 5 months old. |

Have you tried doing a google search for pet trainers in your area? I know besides petsmart we have an independent pet school too. The only reason why I chose petsmart over that one was b/c the petsmart is literally across the street. My dog would have some real issues in life if I ever tried to home school him!!!!!
