@gods_eternal_child So do you think I put the toy in my hand and say sit and play with him when he sits kind of thing? Hard to be repetitive compared to food, but it is something. I do worry because he seems to be scared of things like heights, but to reach my wife or myself he will overcome any...

@alex594 It's not that he needs to be able to sit at 9 weeks. It's that when he is not food motivated I am worried about his training in general. These are dogs need a lot of stimulation and activites and training are important for them. Yes I use a clicker and/or do a yes command. I pretty...

@messiman10 Hey, thought I would reply to this comment again. How did you go about teaching recall and going off lead? Is that when you let them go without a leash? My puppy is waiting for his 3rd and 4th parvo vaccines so we haven't been able to walk him or even take him outside (aside from my...

@messiman10 Yeah, just yesterday for the first time he ate some liver treats after I broke it into smaller pieces. I think I can still use kibble as a resource as long as he gets hungry which is only a bit at night. I take away his bowl when he eats a bit and walks off so he always leaves a bit...

@blaor I use Royal Canin Medium Puppy kibble. I have tried this Zuko peanut butter treat which he won't try, I bought dehydrated beef liver which I haven't opened yet, but we tried giving him one at the vet and he refused, and greenies which he will eat, but doesn't care enough to train for it...

Sorry what does on lead mean? On leash you mean?

@anika98 Man, the worst part is, my puppy was nearly perfectly potty trained and refused to go potty until he was outside, but it has been -27°C to -30°C weather lately and I can tell the temperature is painful to him so we had to stop letting him out. He for some reason won't go in our garage...

@anika98 Lol there is no treat he likes. I literally went to a pet store and had him try samples and he rejected all of them. It is better when he is tired because he will fall asleep faster, but even if he is asleep and I move him, he wakes up and tries to escape before I can close the door. He...

@anika98 Well he freaked out the first night and a bit less the 2nd and it gets better every day. He doesn't make a scene anymore and mild whimpers which he does stop soon enough, but I mean, he just straight up doesn't like being in there. A lot of people say their puppies grew to like their...

@anika98 Thanks. So what do you think I should do when we go to sleep though if I can't force him in the crate? I could sit there for an hour trying and he won't go in there on his own will. I definitely should have him sleep in the crate over night though right?

@nyokabi Thanks, this is really good advice. I forgot to mention we do have one small bed right now that we transport from the crate in and out. When I take it out of the crate he finds himself laying there or anywhere else, but he does seem to like it so I wanted to buy him a better bed for...

@michelle1 Lol I'm not panicking by the way. Just wanted some input from others. With the Canadian tire thing, is it alright to walk him in there? Parvo is feces and saliva so other dogs would have went around licking things right? And if I get a big bed early that isn't chewable, it should be...

Hey guys, so 4 days ago my wife and I got our 9 week old Bordoodle. We did a lot of research prior to getting the puppy, but as anticipated things are different than the youtube videos you see. I'm not expecting my puppy to sit on his first training session or anything, although I have seen it...
