| I have two girls. Gypsy is one of the most brilliant dogs ever and she will be 3 in Sept. Not only does she know her name, she can understand English (guests laugh when they hear me bark out orders such as "get back in the house," "go to your bed" or "you are too close to the road"). Prissy will be 2 in August and sometimes I think she doesn't even know her own name. . . |

YT 2000 Club Member | The very first time she did something wrong..........LOL. The way that I taught Jasmine to come was with a leash. I use a halter with the leash instead of a collar, so there isn't any tugging on her little neck. I also use "liver snacks". She loves liver snacks so I use these for all training. I simply tell her to come, if she doesn't I gave a very gentle encouraging tug of the leash. Of course, I placed her at a very close to distance to me at first. When she came to me, I would treat her with a "liver snack" for a job well done. She was able to complete this 'trick' on the first session. Jasmine is 5 months old, so I only keep her training periods about 10 minutes long. I hope this will help you. Good luck with your little one and have loads of fun!
