Sit

I am signing Moby up for Obedience training(end of August is the start date). Yea, I know the traiing is really for me. So, I have started training him now. He is so cute. He walks on a leash pretty well. However, I want him to do well off leash. The training lessons in my state seem pretty reasonable. 6 weeks $100.00. I have taught him how to sit and almost wait. It is tiring.....I am trying the non punishment method. Just using rewards. The first time, i was pretty aggressive with him and he peed on the floor. The next time i tried to pick him up---he peed again. I suppose he was associating my touch with something negative...that really upset.... So, i try to be extra patient with him. I think the chihuahua is a breed that will work for treats....most of the training occur in the morning. I exercise, discipline, and affection as quoted by Cesear Millan. I have also noticed that alot of his videos are repeat episodes from his shows. So i am watching reruns...i think the funny ones are when the dog suddenly snaps at the owner and the owner looks fighten...cracks me up every time (i know that is not nice, but it does). I am glad people adopt rescue dogs.
