He‘s managed to master - sit, stay, down and come. But he can‘t seem to get to grips with NO! This is a great book @Oryx ! #nfn2020

MsMelissa He is so adorable! 3y
OutAndAbout We used to joke that our dog thought “no” was his name. His response to being told “no” was to come jump in your lap. Not a good feature for a 100 pound lab. His nickname was “stop that”. 3y
Chrissyreadit 😍😍😍I love his bed! 3y

Blaire What a sweetheart!! 3y
Oryx I'm so glad it's useful. I thought it was great for training. I can't believe you got stay already - that was a hard one for us. But so useful! 3y
Oryx My best bit of training was accidental - we always said 'thank you' when we took something out of Daisy's mouth (ball, stick, shoe, dead bird, you know). Now if you say thank you, she'll drop whatever she's holding straight away. 3y
TheSpineView The perfect picture of cuteness! 3y
CBee Hi Woodford!!! @Mitch he‘s so handsome 😍😍 3y
AmyG This book. It must be about him! 3y
veritysalter He just gets cuter 😍 3y
squirrelbrain So cute! And so well-behaved already...❤️ 3y
AlaMich I am by no means a dog training expert, but something I once read really stuck with me. Instead of “no,” you should tell the dog what TO do, instead of trying to tell them what NOT to do. So if he jumps on someone, instead “no” you would say “down.” (edited) 3y
LeahBergen My pup‘s a year old and still has issues with “no”. 😆😆 3y
Mitch @Out-and-about 🤣🤣 3y
Mitch @Oryx and he‘ll do it with us hiding around the corner of the room as well! 3y
Mitch @Oryx brilliant! 3y
Mitch @CBee 🥰Hi Cydney xx 3y
Mitch @AlaMich we‘d been thinking that too! Might give it a go 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3y
Mitch @LeahBergen oh no! Was hoping he‘s get it by 16 weeks! Might have to adjust my expectations! 3y
Mitch @Chrissyreadit I think he likes it too- bad use if you life up the cushion inside you‘ll have his ‘secret‘ stash of all his toys! 3y
JennyM He is so gorgeous 🐶❤️ 3y
LeahBergen Oh, he fully understands the concept of “no”. He just cheekily likes to push his boundaries! 😆 3y
Chrissyreadit @Mitch as it should be 🤣 our cats bring us toy mouse when they want a treat- and when the dog gets a treat she leaves a bite for the cats. They do not reciprocate.... 3y
kspenmoll What a beautiful coat!!!! 3y
Gaylagal2 Oh my my, he's so cute!! ❤️ 3y
