I'm not sure what I can say. My dogs don't get what I would call full. I can feed my dogs and know they are full, but if someone drops something on the floor while eating, they dash right over to cobble it up, and I know they can't be hungry. I think my boys would eat treats all day then eat dinner then come back for more treats. Lol
Hang in there with the single word command tricks. I'm sure your doggies will get it. Gizmo my older dog took a little more to train. Gix the younger was much easier. I think in part because he would watch Gizmo.
Good Luck!
Hi, Pocs. Thanks. I am thankful to have started young with the female shih tzu. She can pick up things pretty fast. The problem with her is (maybe because she's small), the treats can make her full so I guess my main concern is if I should do away with treats and find another way to reward her to keep her motivated. Toys are a bit so-and-so with her.
I agree. Single word commands are much easier to understand. And it's even better if you could turn it into a single syllable commands. On my end, it was Buchi (our 3 year old shih tzu) who learned picked up after Chooey (4 month old female) because he is my sister's dog and hasn't experienced being trained ever since (not even potty training).
