Chrissay 0 #1 March 1, 2006 We got a new puppy! His name is Tab and he is the cutest little guy ever. This is our first puppy, he seems to be doing really well and catching on to housebreaking and commands really well. Anyone have advice or tricks to share?

cocheese 0 #2 March 1, 2006 Yay a new dz lap warmer. Looks cute and fun.Here's a trick tip or 2. When he bites, put your thumb in his mouth and push down slightly. That will end the biting.To make him lay down after a sit, draw the treat toward you in a sweeping motion toward the ground.Yay ! Tab is cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a helpful hint for housechores..stick a pool cue up their butt and use them for a dustmop. I'm teasing!

I'm very fond of my newfound entertainment... except why does happy hour now occur at 5am? ...haven't yet taught her that this is naptime and not playtime. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #6 March 1, 2006 What a sweet, little guy, Chrissy! How great that he and you are bonding and having fun learning things together. Make sure to pamper him with your love, which I know that you will, and be sure to play together a lot. Puppies love to play and to learn new things through play-time. *HUGS* to you both!

If the answer is no train him to to an appropriate behavior instead.Fly it like you stole it!
