So hopefully everyones looked in my Sammy Sammerson file by now. I call him Buppy (short for baby puppy, or beautiful puppy my mom says). I've been the one thats been training him since we got him and I've gotten most of the basics down from reading a puppy training book, but its been no easy task, let me tell you!
At any rate, he's a good buppy for the most part, he's very lovey and likes to play. He has the occasional accident and poopies in the house (not too sure its an accident sometimes, since he does it in the same spot all the time no matter how many times we spray with various pet urine odor stuff).
He ALWAYS manages to tangle himself up when he's on the lead, which is frustrating to him and us, bc we're the ones who have to go untangle him! lol
But today, he really shined and showed his intelligence!
(let me first tell you that we put some fencing up this past weekend so he has a place to run without running off)
I said "go out side go potty" (which I always say when walkin him to the door). Then "go down and do your business" (which I always say when I put him on the lead n let him off the deck). Well today, we were walkin to the door and I said what I usually say, then when we got out on the deck, I said "go down and do your business" and went right into his part of the yard and did it!!! I was so pleased with him!
Then, later, I asked him if he wanted some water, he went ahead of me to the kitchen and went right to his water dish, put his nose in the old water that was there and then looked up at me! *heart melts*
Now, as per the puppy book, I've set aside our pantry with a door as his "bedroom". He gets shut in there at nite with a pillow and a toy or two. Giving him his own "room" to sleep in all nite prevents him from "going" in the house unless he just cant hold it anymore, bc pets dont like to soil where they sleep.
My mom has been putting him to bed lately, and tonite she said to him "lets go to bed", and Sammy (the bestest doggie in the whole wide world) acutally grabbed his fave toy of the moment, went into his room and laid on his pillow!!!! Im such a proud mommy tonite!!!
Yes Im a dork, but anyone with pets knows that they're part of the fam!
Ok, gushing over with now!! lol
