Are you teaching him sit also with hand gesture or only with voice?

haha my dog only sleeps when I'm sitting down in my room, it's so funny. If I walk to go to the bathroom he wakes up and follows me, if I walk to the kitchen or anywhere else, he has to follow me

he has a playpen, but I only lock him in there when I have to go out for a few, other than that I'm home all day so he has free roam from his playpen to my room (all other rooms closed) I don't live in a large house. But he ALWAYS has to know where I am, and if I walk anywhere in the house he HAS to follow me

curious lil stubborn guy that he is!. He also loves to be picked up lol everytime he wants me to pick him up, he does what toddlers do, he goes up on his back legs and pushes his two front paws up at me and bounces until I pick him up lol. Then he just falls asleep on my chest on a baby blanket we got him!

Well if I go anywhere Lex follows but goes back to sleep.lol Lex has almost the entire house to himself when we are alone. My brother's room is off limits and so is my niece's room. Haha Lex loves being picked up too. I think our boys are too spoiled.

me either, when I got him, I had really bad graft rejection from my last corneal transplant, I was being injected with steroids etc. and was at the point of needing surgery... after a week of having Henry, my graft took a turn for the best and the rejection got better!! when it was at 99% rejection!!
I've just been so happy with Henry around, I've been mostly stuck at home alone and it gets rather boring, but with Henry around I've been more happy and my eyes have gotten better since then! So he's my lil angel

I need some advice. Little Man is overweight by 1 pound. He is 8 weeks old and he weighs 3.75lbs. When my vet told me that I was shocked. I did everything that she told me to do the day I took him to vet the first time. This is what she told me to do; use the milk supplement until he was 6 weeks old, then mix it with purina puppy chow until he was 7 weeks, then start adding water with his puppy chow, until he gets his teeth. So, now I'm mixing just a little bit of water in the puppy chow so its not so mushy.

Now, when I took him to get his shots last Friday, she then tells me to stop using the purina puppy chow and put him on the Science Diet for puppies. I've heard a lot of bad things about the Science Diet food. I'm kinda skittish to do that just yet. I've read the thread on cooking the food for yorkies, I do believe Little Man will benefit from it and I plan on cooking his meals now.

He is active and fiesty, but he does love to sleep a lot. We can't take walks right now outside because its been cold and very windy outside lately. So, we play inside. We play the chasing game. I'll chase him and then he chases me. He lets me know when I don't pay enough of attention to him. He'll come and tug on my pants leg. I guess my question is what should I do help him lose that pound?
