Progress With Frodo

[Jaanka]

I am so proud of my little boy!

We are only having about 1-2 accidents in the house and they are always my fault as I don't take him outside to go potty in time. He is learning the term "Go potty" really well.

Its so encouraging to see him wake up and trot outside and go potty on his own though - i always follow him out and give him lots of praise and a treat to make sure that I am reinforcing this behaviour.

I have started leash training over the past few days just before dinner, basically I put the lead on his collar and walk around the house as he walks comfortably he gets lots of praise and a treat.

We have also started working on the command come - and taking slow baby steps but he is happily running towards me when I say Frodo come.

Working on Sit as well, he is asked to sit before each meal and each treat, he has to earn his food; all our dogs do.

He is eager to please and I can't wait to teach him more as he grows.
