Answer
Glitter pens on paper. Bring old magazines to cut and paste. Bring or make hand puppets from old socks use crayons felt glue or colored paper. Make cut and color brown paper sack masks. String colored cereal necklaces with a string and bobby pins. Glue cereal or different pastas to card board. Make treasure boxes for tiny toys from small boxes with colored paper or bits of old wrapping paper. Make tiny sandwiches with crackers cheese cold cuts and cookie cutters. Read books and do your own sound effects. Bring pop-up books they haven't seen of read some of theirs. ask them to show you a favorite toy or play thing ad tell you about it. Listen and ask questions. They will love telling you things. Even young people like to talk about their selves or one another.What do they do at school and do they have projects to work on. The boy will probably have an earlier bed time and tooth brushing and prayers may be a part of that. The girls need quiet games or books after his bed time. You will make for the little boy with his ideas and help girls when asked. The time and space has a lot to do with your selections and they may have suggestions. The boy will have stacking toys and cars and trucks. The girls may have American girl dolls or paper dolls they like.

Does anyone have any puppy training tips?

I have a 10 week old GoldenDoodle named Eilidh (AYlee). She's very sweet and I recently had to put a dog down for aggression. I don't want to make any mistakes this time. I have a dog training book (Dog Training Made Easy) but I would like to know of any other tips to train her the right way. We have been very careful not to smack her when she's "naughty" and we just yell "NO" in a harsh voice.
She's still not potty trained but we've only had her two weeks and she goes outside most of the time. When she does go inside, I know it's because WE aren't paying attention.
I guess what I'm asking is the proper way to punish her when she's eating my rug, or a shoe, or one of the kids toys. Right now we just say "NO" and give her one of her "Good girl toys.". Any ideas?
Also, I was told by my vet that she shouldn't go to puppy training classes until she is 15 weeks, after all of her shots. Will that be too late?
Answer
Its not too early to start on the sit-stay and down- stay and come.. When she begins chewing, give her any of the above commands, and be persistant about her doing it..that way, when you do give her a treat, it is for a job well done...It also shows her that when she tries to create her own job, that you have a better one for her..
The Basics
SIT, COME, DOWN, STAY, HEEL.
SIT
Holding a treat in your left hand just above the pup's nose, gently rest your right hand on pup's rump.
Slowly move the treat in an upward motion while applying gentle pressure to the rump. ( you don't want to push hard because if you do the dog will sit every time someone touches him and this is not good for competitive obedience)
as soon as pup sits say in a very happy excited tone "GOOD SIT" and give the treat.
Repeat exercise 7x. then take a play break and move on to something else.
very young pups should not train for more than a half hour each day
every time you put food bowl down or give a treat give the sit command, and wait for the sit. then once pup sits give treat or food down.
DO NOT move on to something new until pup has the new command down pat.
COME
walk away from pup about 10 feet to start. say pup's name and "COME" in a happy voice. once pup comes praise it lavishly have a bit of a play and give it a treat.
Gradually increase the distance you walk away. and eventually once pup knows command only treat every 3rd come. tapering off until he comes every time with out treat using only praise.
this will take a few days to learn if you practice every day.
DOWN
Start with pup in sit. move hand with the treat between the pup's front paws on the ground.
Say "DOWN" in firm but not loud voice.
pup might try and get treat without going down, don't let him have it until he downs.
praise in happy voice "GOOD DOWN"
repeat 7x
STAY
Start pup in down position. say "STAY" in firm voice. walk to end of leash, backwards. if the pup moves say once only "AP" in a not pleased tone. go back do not say anything. put pup in down again repeat "STAY" walk backwards to end of leash.
pup does NOT get praise or treat until he stays for 30 seconds, then a minute, then 5 minutes. move times up each week.
after he can do a 5 minute down/stay every time. move on to a sit/stay doing exactly what you did for down/stay.
Once on leash sit and down/stays are reliable for 5 minutes each. drop the leash and walk away from your pup, your back to the pup. about 10 feet away. wait 5 min. recall your dog. with dog sitting in front of you once he reaches you. treat and praise.
HEEL
Please do NOT train with a choke collar. i recommend martingayles .
with dog on a short leash exactly beside you on your left side say "HEEL" if the dog starts to pull give a correction snap with leash on collar. and recommend "HEEL" the second your dog complies praise with "GOOD HEEL" in happy voice. and continue to walk , correct, and praise for 30 minutes.
Always end training sessions on a positive note. Never get angry with your pup for not responding to a command. Praise lavishly every time pup responds to a command.
