For those of you that have trained puppies basic commands (sit, stay, come, heel), what is the best at-home method (not going to a class)? Does “clicker” training work? In your opinion, are there any good books/dvd’s that you would recommend for aiding in training these commands?
My husband and I just rescued a 7 week old puppy from the local shelter. Her mom was caught in a hunting trap out in the woods and actually gave birth to her litter while trapped. Someone found the 7 babies, and the mamma and brought them to the shelter. 2 of the babies have died, and we were worried they weren’t getting the care they really needed. Turns out, we took her to the vet, she had worms HORRIBLE and she has a viral infection. Now, I dont really want to push training on her that much untill she starts to feel alittle better, but I didn’t know if she is too young to be potty trained outside, or the basic commands of sit and stay. She pottys only on the papers we lay down, but has the poopies because shes sick. Anyone have any suggestions about when to start training? Oh yeah, we named her lucky =)
I’m planning on getting a little jack russell terrier puppy that’s 6 months old or less. What are the basic trainings of a dog and how do you train it?
Thanks for helping!
(I’m also doing some researching btw)
