MrToby Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks for his comments everyone. He is going very well, just had his shots on Wed and he was not too happy about that.. Connie has requested i take him for his next lot, as for some reason he is calmer and quieter with me. He knows his bed time now, and drags his Shelby ted in front of you around 9.30 each night. We know it is his bed time then, and off he goes. ;) His house training is going very well too He has started going to his bathroom spot on his own now. Although he still gets treats when we see him do it... His training with Connie is powering along and he stays for 5 - 10 seconds staring at his treat before he is told to take it, which he does. Shaking hands is funny as when he is so small, but he is getting there with that one.. :laugh: Connie is going to start him on his tiny harness this weekend as well. He has a collar too, but the harness is a better idea we think. Everything is in a matching brown color, with a puppy theme too of course. :rofl: I will have to get some more pics of him tomorrow, i have just had a bit on this week.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 What a wonderful little dog. An absolute stunner. Toby was obviously a good dog to start with, but this is being enhanced by one very important thing: you are treating him as a dog and not a toy. ;) Doesn't matter how small they are, they are still dogs and love to do (in miniature ) all the things that big dogs like to do. I've had a few really small dogs and, boy, could they hoe into the bones . Please don't let him near the pool . Even the best trained dogs can have a slip.

MrToby Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks again everyone,.. The bones are something we want to try with him soon... He has his little back teeth coming through right now, so he is munching on anything he can get his tiny paws on. The pool training is a must for us, as we are big pool people. He wanders around it everyday, does not go near the edge at all. He is more interested in the leaves he finds out there to play with.. He is a great little swimmer as you can see here. But he does have a little issue with getting out from the step. We have placed him in the pool, facing away from that step and he swims straight for it. So that was stage one done, he knows now where he can stand up, and be safe. A little escape ramp is coming next week for him... We also have the standard aluminum pool fence, and short of not putting in a full glass fence, he simple ducks in between the fence poles now. We really would have to redo the entire pool fence to keep such a little guy out of that area... And i prefer he know what to do in water for when we go camping as well, as we always end up near a creek.. I will try and get a new swimming video of him today ( it is hot enough already) he has progressed well in his pool adventures..Visions of little tiny floaties did cross my mind though..

MrToby Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 New video of Mr Toby. His training is going great, and he has no issues at all with heading outside now when he needs to go to the bathroom. We are trying to teach him to stop barking when we say it is ok now. If he hears something, he will go off and until i take him for a wander around he doesn't stop. It's like the little tuffy has to have me walk him around to make sure, then he is all good again.. Very funny little guy, he has been helping me with the Harley lately, and is is amusing when he just sits beside me without a worry while i am grinding or doing other things. He is just happy to be near someone, like most Chi's.. Has his own little pool now as well, so he can go for a swim whenever he wants to now. Which he seems to be really enjoying too..

MrToby Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 He luvs it too.. At least he doesn't have to wait till one of us are in the big pool now..Only issue is keeping him out of it some days, he goes balistic after a swim and now he can go when ever he wants.. So he will come tearing into the house ( which is tiled throughout) and he has been given the name of "DP" when he does this.. "DRIFT PUPPY" as he slides all over the place, but he looks like he is having a ball when he does it too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
