  1. The food seems like a huge distraction, have you tried training without the food, just positive reinforcement?

  2. Luckily, dogs aren’t pedantic so either will do.

  3. its best to start at 4 months of age . but my lab is 1 month & she does: sit,speak,down & jump with out clicker training.
    you just gotta put him in da right timing of training itz easy once you & your pup get a close bound together =]

    I hope this helps!!

  4. lay down or lie down. ?

  5. lol my dog was 5 weeks old when whe had her
    i said sit for fun sit! she sitted down..!
    i said lie down!
    she lied down o.o!!!!!!
    i said roll-over she rolled over !!!
    omfg
    i was so frikng suprised!

  6. We got him when he was 1 month old, from my friend who had the puppies. He is now 7 weeks old. He can now sit, and shake hands. =]

    That’s what I was thinking that he was too young at first, but when he finally started being active and stuff I decided to give it a try. He learned quickly ! Now I’m teaching him to stay and laydown. He is young but he is very smart !!!

  7. One month? That’s only about four weeks.
    Good breeders usually don’t let you take the dog home until the dog is about seven or eight weeks old, in other words, two months.
    Or did you mean you’ve /had/ him for one month?

  8. What age do you start training dogs to do tricks? My lab is 1 month old, all he does is jump around when I try to teach him to sit and stuff. Lol

  9. usually, this is the best method, but if ur having problems, put them in a sit, then pull their 2 front legs down. mark, treat, and repeat

  10. how old is he?

  11. not even this worked i cant get his butt down in any angle i put the treat down
