That is, what does he obey the most?
Maybe it's just cuz he's a pup but Smokey seems to understand (or decides to obey) some commands better than others.
His best (no treat required):
Sit
Leave it
Kennel Up/Get in your kennel
Upstairs
Outside/Inside
Go Potty/Go PeePee (Which, by the way, I am happiest about cuz if I'm in a rush I can just say Go Potty! and he'll go right away)
Off (the couch, bed, chair, but not people! )
Wait
Let's Go
And the ever popular *snap snap* with my fingers when he's in my place on the bed. He's good, I'll snap and he'll get up and go wait for me to get comfy before he comes back and makes himself even more comfy on me.
But he will only do "Down" if I have a treat and guide him into the down position. (He's learning "crawl", too. Will do it for a treat but he doesn't know the word command alone.)
He will only do stay for a treat but he won't "Stay" for his dinner. He'll sit and stay for a minute but as soon as the bowl hits the ground he's on it.
Man, I've got some work to do!
