Puppy training

Hello :) we just brought our new addition Tank into our family. He is currently 2 months old.

I am able to bring him to work with me which is great because I can train him both in obediance and potty.

We are currently working on sit and come. Should I wait until he masters them before moving on to another, or work on basic commands together?

I was trying to work on down after the sit today and he walks towards the treat instead of laying down.

Congratulations!

I can smell the puppy breath from here!  At 8 weeks, it's a good thing when they go outside to potty.  I would just keep working with him, he will eventually catch on.

Thank you

Thanks for the advice. We've been practicing come, sit and stay today :) He's catching on....just not down lol.

We'll keep up the practice!

Thank you!

OMG! They are both so gorgeous! I love the baby pic and especially the birthday one! I cannot wait to do that, so sweet! He'll be one on 11/13/16.

I absolutely love the fact I can have him here. It's just the two of us, plenty of time for snuggles and training. All the customers love him already too. It's great!!

Oh This is going to be fun

Just keep working on them and it will come. Just give lot of praise and kisses. Sorry I don't do treats for rewards never know what in them these days. I found praise and kisses work for me.
