I'm going to copy Kalamama and post my brag too.LOL We had been working on the down and I got more serious about it yesterday and today I tried without the shoulder push and sure enough she had gotten it. Sometimes it just clicks.

OMG - she is adorable and SOOOOOO smart !!!

I just LOVED how she understood "Wait" also - even her tail stopped moving LOL in anticipation of the "what will Mom ask next" : ))) !!!!!

Just amazing puppy - I am so happy you found the darling and pretty puppy you always wanted :rose::rose::rose:

I don't want to push Harry to the side. I will post a video of his "jump" soon.

 

[KalaMama]

Good job Mia! She is so cute!!

 

[Leooonie]

Aww shes lovely! How old is Mia?

one thing to point out however... I know it may have been a mistake, but if the dog doesn't respond to first time the cue word, then it has to be enforced... the first tiem you said down, you actually said it twice..
I used to do that alot, and it take spractise not to repeat when somethign isnt done first time. But ive learnt that if the cue is siad only once, the dog is quicker in responding
Just thought i'd say that!

also... random question: do you own any show dogs?

 

[KPoos]

Mia is 5 months. She just turned 5 months. Yes you are so right, I have a very bad habit of repeating even with my own kids and I cringed when I did that because I didn't need to, she was going down on her own. No Harry is a neutered male and Mia is too young to be a show dog. Those are the only two dogs I own.

 

[Leooonie]

Gosh.. I'd never realised how large Spoo pups were! and to think my mini was always getting question for being a standard :/
I think black poos have the most gorgeous expressive eyes! When she looked up at you I couldnt help but squeal with delight!

 

[Marian]

Mia is beautiful! She's doing well with the training too. Such a great feeling, isn't it?

 

[jak]

Forget silvers and reds, I want myself a black spoo now!!!

Well done on the training!

I should get a video of her playing in the yard. She totally prances like she's the shiznit.:lol:

 

[Cdnjennga]

She's very tuned into you, I definitely think you could move on and try some obedience. I love her little face.

Yes I've never had a dog that will look at me and wait for me to speak to them and tell them what to do like her. I read this Leerburg thing about practicing with keeping a puppy's attention on you and I'm going to start practicing this outside on a leash with different distractions with treats. I used this one method of holding the treat in front of you and not speaking and then the dog relaxes and sits and then you treat and praise. I also don't let them come rushing inside from being outside and I started that a month ago or so. She knows to wait for my cues and she will sit and wait for them. I guess it helps to have a dog that is very patient and willing to please too.
