Okay well my little 8.5 week old Jagger rang his bell on the back door today for the first time (not sure if he knew what he was doing but I acted like he did anyway). He will go outside most of the time but slips up 1-2 times a day. Should I point out potty mistakes or ignore and focus on the outside accomplishments only?
I am taking him to puppy class when he gets his last set of shots but I would really like to have an idea of what I should be able to expect from him at this age...I don't want to overestimate or underestimate what he can do. He will work with me for spurts on sitting and if I help him will sit and wait for his food.
The other thing I would like to know is how much "puppy biting" I should correct him for? I have lots of little kiddos and I try to make sure they take him out and help feed, water, treat that sort of thing but I would like for them and myself to be "correcting" his biting/ankle chasing that sort of thing correctly.
Sorry for the long list but help or advice would truly help so I thought I would ask ray:
