I got her yesterday.How can i train her to know her name? I tried to call her all the time but she ignore me. She also does not want to take a walk. Is this usuall for 6 weeks puppy? Plese help me Posts: 8 | From: columbus | Registered: Jun 2004 DaxAriel's toy Member Member # 740 Member Rated: posted June 23, 2004 01:16 PM                She's 6 weeks old? She really is very young. Normally the breeder should have her for another 2 weeks. 1. to get pup to come when called - have a small treat - little piece of weiners or something else she likes. Get a someone to help you if you can. Call pup's name in a high happy voice (do this sitting vs standing up) and if she comes praise "good girl". Use her name constantly when refering to her. It will take about 1 week for her to associate her name with her. So keep at it.

Thank you again Posts: 8 | From: columbus | Registered: Jun 2004 DaxAriel's toy Member Member # 740 Member Rated: posted June 23, 2004 06:50 PM                Well, then I hope you feel free to ask as many questions as you need on this forum. Her name is the first step - there are lots more. Patience is the key.

She'll learn it soon. -------------------- xoxo, dodos http://www.photowow.com/r/contest.asp?p=vote.asp&c=156&i=17456 Vote for my Coconut! Check out my forum.
