Hero, the Smarty Pants

My this puppy I have learns fast. He's already learned how to sit, give paw and lie down pretty consistently. The sit command he has down pact. I'm a proud mommy to say the least!

SIT!

DOWN!

Sorry I couldn't get the paw pic, but when I have someone over to hold the camera, I'll be sure to get a video of him!

Oh and to continue the bragging, Hero is crate trained (thank goodness), so he sleeps in there which helps tremendously with his potty training. It teaches him to hold in his waste by waiting to get out before going since dogs instinctively will not eliminate where they sleep (unless forced to). Of course, he is a puppy, so his bladder isn't too big and he can't really hold it in for more than a couple hours at a time. I did push it one day and left him for 5 hours... he was a good boy though and didn't do the deed in the crate, but once he got out, boy that was the longest pee pee ever! He's also 80% potty trained to go on the pee pads in the washroom. The poo poo part is still a little bit of a struggle and I've had to remove the carpet in the washroom because it looks so much like the pad, but he's getting there. GOOD BOY HERO!
