I posted a LONG time ago how Jasper went to the door, and recently about how I was having trouble controlling/training him.
Well I haven't updated on this, so I figured I would;)
Jasper's been very good with doing his "business" outside, I cannot REMEMBER the last time he did anything in the house!! I think he was basically trained at 5 months old, maybe not completely, but mostly.
BUT the only problem I do have is he doesn't whine/cry/bark or anything, just goes to the door and expects us to know hes there lol and we don't always know hes there! I've heard that some people use a bell?? How do I get him to do that? Or are there other ways?
And with other training, I went to another clicker training graduation, level 2 this time. I have been practicing some level 1 things with Jasper before he goes :D So he won't embarrass me lol and also so he'll be a little advanced and not so confused.
Right now he knows sit, stay(to a certain point..stays when he wants but not if I leave the room or anything like that), down, both paws, both high fives, and his retrieve.
Some things Im working on(and may need a bit of advice for) are "wait" hes getting good, I tell him to sit, then wait when Im opening the door and he just comes when Im out the door lol doesn't wait until I say. I may also need advice for "stand" I take the treat in my hand when hes sitting, and show him it and then pull it forward and say "stand" and he lays down:rolleyes: lol Im not sure why, I guess hes confused.
He is also getting a little better when people come in, he still jumps on them:rolleyes: but he calms down in no time, hopefully it will get better.
Ah well, sorry its so long, any tips and advice are always greatly appreciated :D Thanks!
