Pet Training Tips

Tips on training my 13 week old cocker spaniel x poodle.?

I have a 13 week old black 'spoodle or cockapoo' as they are called in the Designer Dog world and I would like to get some tips on training him. I will be enrolling him in Puppy Classes in a couple of weeks but i wanted to start training before that. I have taught him to sit on command already which he learnt very quickly so i tried teaching him 'Drop'. All he does is jump on the hand with the biscuit and lie down and chew my hand, should i reward him or keep trying to make him drop correctly? Also, i live in Australia, so it can get quite hot in the Summer, he feels the heat quite a bit because he is black, how can I cool him down? Any other training tips would be great!! And i didn't get him from a Pet Shop or Designer Dog Breeder, I rescued him from a shelter. :D Thanks.

You should wait until he's older to teach him drop it. Don't reward him for doing something other than what you told him to do. Get him groomed well in the Summer and keep him inside during the hot times of the day. Remember to not walk him on sidewalk when it's hot out, that'll burn his paw pads.

I have the same mix, and I got him from my shelter. He's all black and he caught on right away with training.
