Training a tiny one is much different than training the larger dogs I have always had. I first realized that with Fada. Daz, being a puppy is even smaller and teaching new behaviors more of a challenge. Something I have found helpful is to get down on her level. I often sit on a low stool to do shaping sessions with the clicker so that I can see what the dog is doing more easily and she is not looking UP at me.
Would love to hear other training tips for the wee ones.
Vettel is my first small dog, and training is VERY different. I would love to hear others successful tips for training small dogs.
