I've taken this week off work to start the training. The main aim is to get him settled in his crate/pen by next week when I'll be upstairs in the office. If I can get that far and start toilet training and a few basic commands of what is right and wrong I'll be making good progress! When back at work I'll be breaking regularly for toilet training, etc. We'll get there!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760882228804363193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784699701413430736.post-16747204492331819182009-11-30T05:58:15.337-08:002009-11-30T05:58:15.337-08:00What a brill new dad you are Stephen! I note that ...What a brill new dad you are Stephen! I note that you are using behaviourist techniques based on reinforcing the behaviour you want repeated and ignoring that which you don't. So it's great that you are around so much,as it can be difficult to work when there is no-one there. But will he interfere with your work? Yes he will!!<br />I guess you don't mind the odd interruption from Jax though as it will pay off and lead to a contented dog who knows his boundaries.<br />I should have known that you would wholeheartedly throw yourself into the Jax learning project but you are obviously learning too! And enjoying the little pup in the process of his training.<br />Good luck and have lots of fun.Renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278625540356610587noreply@blogger.com
