Katie knows watch me, sit, speak, wait, down, come, under, spin, over (jump
over something), and we are just starting crawl. It is my belief that the
FIRST command one should teach their dog is 'watch me.' Once the dog knows
this command, teaching her/him all other commands is much easier. All dogs of
all ages can be taught anything. The only difference is their attention span.
Puppies have a much shorter attention span than adult dogs. With puppies,
training should last only as long as a commercial break - 2 to 4 minutes. And
training must ALWAYS be fun and positive. Approach training with the same
attitude and excitement as you feel when playing with your dog. I'll send the
training sessions that I use with Katie, beginning with 'watch me.'
Sharon and Katie
