Kroush Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 My mother's never had a dog smaller than a cocker spaniel, so she a little at a loss as to what to do with and how to train Pogo. (He's a silky poo mix... kinda looks like a wire haired terrier to me.) Are there any small breed forums or reading materials you'd suggest for her? Here's some photos of him for good measure.

Rosemary Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Oh my goodness she is adorable - and she sleeps like a Husky Sorry, I have never had small dogs either but I wouldn't think training would be any different to any other breed?

valkyries Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 it's gotta be easier to train than a stuborn husky xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 You're right Linda, nothing can beat an obstinate husky. Kristina I googled 'training for small breed dogs' and it seems the training does differ slightly, maybe you should have a look, there may be something useful for your mum on there. This also looks like a good site on House training a smaller dog http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=1684&S=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikaani&Aiyana Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I helped train my ex ex's jack russell when he got one as a pup. I would say it was the same really, use rewards/praise when they do something good and ignore when something bad. We never had him on a lead as my ex was a farrier so from pup just got used to always staying close to us & so came back when he was called. Easier than a husky!!

Sibdaddy10 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I own a rat terrier as well as Chitto. She is a little dumb but wasnt to hard to train. Let me know if there are any specifics that I might be able to help you with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saffmonster Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have a friend with a grumpy lhassa apso who was pretty easy to train. I found these training videos. http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_1391_train-small-dogs.html Or, www.videojug.com is good for how-to videos.

Marc Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Might be worth going on the pet forums (google it) then have a look in the relevant section at peoples signatures. If there is a forum around Im sure thats probably the way your gonna find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
