Hello everyone. I have had Cisco at home for approximately 3 weeks now, he is currently 9 weeks. Crate training is going good, he only had one accident in there the first night at home. He has had a couple of accidents in the house (#1) but that is my fault for not being vigilant enough. He has picked up the commands "Sit" and "Lay Down" fairly quickly and however will only do it with a treat as a bribe. I have not attempted any other training yet.
I work offshore in the oil&gas industry and will be leaving for work in the next few days. My schedule is normally 28 days offshore, and 28 days at home, so Cisco's training will have to take a pause until I get back in four weeks. However, I have some questions that I am confident the good folks here can help me with.
#1. Can you recommend a good puppy obedience class near southwest Houston? I am adamant that Cisco learn the basics, and learns to do them well. I am new at training, and need the guidance and Cisco deserves to get some proper training from someone who knows better then I.
#2. Cisco is currently eating Diamond large breed puppy, 1 cup at 7:30 am and 1/2 cup at 2:20 pm. Is this too much or too little an amount for a 9 week Cane Corso/Pit bull mix? Any comments on the Diamond brand of kibble?
#3. Will I lose pack leader status being away from home for 28 days straight? Will Cisco remember who I am when I return home?
Thank you in advance for any and all information.
