Are they easy-ish to train?
Jack is such a couch potato that we haven't done a lot of training with him. He was easy to teach "sit" to and he knows "come". He walks well on a leash. He is pretty much just a true lapdog. Now his two sons on the other hand...
Totally different personalities. Sparky can take weeks to learn a new skill but his brother Tucker catches on right away. Tucker thinks himself quite clever in fact. He did really well in puppy kindergarten. Knew sit, stay, come, walked on a leash like he was supposed to. He knows how to turn door knobs, but lacks the opposible thumb to actually open the door (thank goodness) His newest "haha aren't I funny" is when he is outside playing, he refuses to come, gets within inches of you then runs away. SO I told him sit. He did that immediately. Great- scooped up his naughty self and took him in. The next day I told him come, he came up then ran away. So I told him sit again. The turd instead stood on his hind legs and did the bichon dance. They are 18 months old and I am pretty sure he is just seeing if the rules for him have changed yet.
Sparky - just say "treat" and you are tripping over him.
