No worries , just need to do 1 command at 1 time , practise that command until u sien
Then when he does it very quickly by 1 time command , that is when they 100% know and it is practised
Only then start with a new command and repeat again , when start with new command , remember to also practise the first command as well
Never give up , never give the food in ur hand to them if he doesnt follow the command , if he unsure how to do sometimes , then hint it to them by pushing his butt if it is ( SIT ) by example.
The keyword i learnt is never give up , start with new command only when u have time , dont start and then give up after a couple of minutes lo.
Whether fast or slow learner , they need practise.
It is just about getting the command faster or slower , but still need practise lo.
And make sure they are calm when you are teaching
If they aren't calm and got over excited , i dont think it is a time to teach cos they want to play for that moment.
That is how i teach Cookie and she just learnt a new trick yesterday i taught her how to play dead Bang , super funny the way she does it , especially when i Bang and she is dead , then she try to get up back to take food from me , i Bang another time while she is getting up lolx , then she is dead again lolx. Successfully kao tim play dead trick yesterday
Added on September 7, 2010, 10:51 amI learnt from watching Cesar Millan that a dog needs to be calm and in a pack , who is the follower and who is the leader.
Generally listening to you meaning you are the leader
While taking a stroll with you , you walk the dog , not the dog walks you so the dog has to be in line with you and not infront walking you.
Thats one of the basic from Cesar Millan
Cookie so clever. How to teach the bang anyway? I mean how u show him how to pretend die?
I have no idea how to teach this, but this is really cute...
