I can't believe it but I taught Luxie how to sit and how to focus (eye contact)!!!
I'm so proud of her but secretly also proud of myself because this is the first time I've thought a dog tricks! We did about 1 clicker training session a day and she did sit in about 3 days and focus in one and a half when I trained her twice a day!! She's a smart little girl!! So cute!! I'll make a video soon!

Well done

Well done Luxie! Some dogs just get it straight away and she must be one of them so lucky you! Axle was a dream for me to train but I think Chloe has ADD or something because she can't seem to focus (she will sit for food though). I found shake hands really easy to train, Ax got it in 2 days so maybe give that a go with Luxie next if she's a quick learner.

Congrats!

I would love to see a video of her brilliance! I'll bet it is just adorable.

Good job training so early. I am a bit behind but we are catching up.

Focus will be SUPER hard for Eden who also has attention issues!

We are working on basic obedience ( walking nicely, sit, stay, come). It is a challenge with these ill guys but they are really smart, so I'm hanging in there! My hubby went to class with the 2 that travel with him & Clapton won the "Most Improved" award yesterday in the final class.! Now he is signed up for level 2---wheeee! Since I live in the boonies, I have to pass on an official class, but have trained pups since childhood in 4H, so we are going it solo in our yard for now.
I have been really curious about the clicker training---that is new since I attended class.

That is great that your pup is learning so quickly! I think it makes them happy to learn new tricks.
