Monster puppy!

[only_me]

Its hard to believe that this little thing has turned into this!

8 weeks old

19 weeks old

And just a couple of questions - how do I teach stay and reward stay without saying come?
Her recall is becoming really good; and she now drops her toys when asked

For stay - start small. Get her to sit by you, and try taking one step away, commanding as you do so either 'sit' or if you want to use a separate word, 'stay'. Only wait a few seconds before returning to her and then rewarding - you want her to succeed. You can start by almost stepping back then immediately back to her again, and keep your eyes on her. If she gets up, put her back quietly - without scolding, it's normal for a little pup to want to stay with you.

If she finds it really hard, take one half step away (so you are standing with your legs wide, with one leg still by her) and lean your weight away from her without taking the leg away.

Then build up the distance and length of time, you can also start moving about.

Cute pupster Growing like a weed, isn't she!
