Okay, so we're going into Day 7 of training Penny- just mostly focusing on house breaking and teaching her her name.. And keeping her occupied enough during playtime so that she isn't chewing on stuff she shouldn't be chewing on.
She's now starting to understand that if she needs to potty, she needs to go outside and is scratching on the glass to let us know. It doesn't happen -everytime-, but if she has an accident inside, it's at least on a potty pad for the most part (she's had a couple of accidents elsewhere, but nothing major). We do take her out as soon as she wakes up in the mornings, whenever she wakes up from a nap, and a little while after she eats/drinks water.
Responding when she's called is coming along, as well, but I kind of feel like she should be more responsive than she is.
Once we get those 2 things down better, we'll work on other things- sit, stay, come here, etc. olol We've been watching the Cesar Millan videos to see how he does it all.
Anywho.. If you've ever raised a puppy, how did -you- go about it? How long did it take for the puppy to learn the basics?
