training a dog is really pretty easy.
15 minutes a day and in a week the dog has learned.
Just get a bag of small biscuits and give it 1 every time.
E.g say sit and force it to sit with your hand. Then give a treat.
By day 4 it will make the association with the word and sitting.
I generaly did that for a week before doing the next command to avoid confusing it.
Equaly people complain about bathing there dog. Mine used to hide when he heard water, and chow on my hand when I tried to pull him out from his hiding spot.
Give it a light slap on the rear if it tries jumping out or anything (not hard, just enough it knows you dont approve) and give it a treat after every bath. Mine still dosent like baths but he knows its worth his while so he co-operates, even managed to get him to jump into the bath himself.
You should bathe it regularly, to get it used to it, and because when mine was little it always seemed to get fleas.
Id put a towel in the bath too, or its claws will scratch the surface.
Dont put too much water and try to keep the temperature mild, and apparently there ears are prone to infection, so really make sure you dry those.
The worst part of dog training is house training, I always felt bad for it, you're suposed to rub there face in it. They cant stand being surounded by it so they stop pretty quick when you do that.
Keeping them happy really isnt hard. A nice garden with flowers and theyre over the moon. Mine figured out how to open the cupboards, sponges were his favourite toys. Then feather dusters and laundry (every time i did it he'd crab my socks, he thought it was a game).
Id keep your shoe ware out of the way, he'd sit in mine and chew them apart, i had to check every time I went to put a pair on.
I had to throw away about 4 pairs of slippers in 2 months.
They like chewing so ideally, buy it a ball (preferably a soft one,squeeky), maybe a solid rubber one too, and a tug toy(handle for you, end for him to chew, mine loves that).
Keep its collar loose too because its constantly growing.
Most importantly, dont let it near cabling.
Either cover it, block it, or keep it off while the dogs around, they chew everything, and if it chews through cabling it could kill itself. If you give it enough to chew on that should keep it distracted. Puppys are off there heads, honestly.
You can keep it entertained by hiding treats too, its quite funny watching them hunting them down.
