Puppy questions

• Puppy questions Susan Topham Posted : 10/2/2006 6:05:51 PM   Hi, I am new to the forum and had a couple of questions.  I just got an eight week old puppy a few days ago and I haven't dealt with a puppy for several years.  I was wondering how you teach a puppy to come when you call.  Generally she comes but not always.  When she does come I praise her and sometimes give her a treat.  At what age should you get really serious about training them?   LIKE 3 REPLIES 123 VIEWS LAST POST SUSAN TOPHAM Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Second, you may also want to do a search (at the top of the page with 'login', etc.) and you will probably get a ton of info - There are several differnt methods, you'll have to decide which is best for you and your pup.     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Rachel Posted : 10/3/2006 8:31:09 AM It's going to take a little bit , a week maybe, for the puppy to learn its name. I think Buck learned his name in about 4 days? The come command came about 3-4 days after that. Keep rewarding with praise everytime he/she turns their head when you say their name and when they come on command. Good luck!  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Bell is a McNab (they are sort of similar to a Border Collie except that they work cows better and have shorter hair) and she is a little over 8 weeks old.  I have had her for about four days.  Good idea about doing a search 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
