these are all good tips. thank you so much. in the short time i posted i have a wealth of information. again i thank you all! i am giving my son the job of feeding rocco and my daughter will be in charge of treats for going potty outside. wonderful tips for getting the children involved. the first couple days all he did was lay around, which is understandable considering the change in enviorment. he does love to sit on my lap. sometime he starts to pant so i put him in his bed to cool off. we will get him active . i just recieved great news. my sister has a 2 year old yorkie. she has agreed to have some play dates so the two can hang out. i think a mix of stimulation with my children and his "canine cousin" willl help him loosen up a bit. thank you all again. God bless |

Feeding is a great tip for your 6 y.o. When Sammy was younger he used to nip at one of my daughters. The vet recommended having her attend training classes with the dog (along with me) and that worked like a charm- Sam never nipped at her again because she was the keeper of good treats and fun. |

Congratulations on your new puppy. I wish I could remember who it was I saw at an obedience seminar, about positive training methods, so I could give her credit, but she showed how easy it was to leash train a puppy to walk nicely on a leash by using a long spoon, or yard stick (for a YT). What you do is put something yummy on the end of the spoon that the puppy can lick off, I use peanut butter with no additives. Put the puppy on the ground, with his collar and leash on and let him lick the spoon as you start to walk. Praise, praise, praise. Slowly start lifting the spoon up intermittently, as you walk. Put the spoon down if the puppy starts acting funny so he can lick it. Only do this for a couple minutes, and after a couple sessions, your puppy will be leash trained without hysterics. This method has always worked for me with puppies I've fostered. |
