Training my mini pinscher (the odyessy begins)
Well here's another update about my recent adventures with my newly
adopted mini pin. I decided on a name finally instead of just "min pin" and am now going to call her "blue" since she looked so melancholy the first couple days. :} The good news is she's eating but she's also a VERY finicky eater. Her previous owner must have spoiled her good because she seems to completely reject her dry dog food. It's nutro lamb & rice in case you're wondering which other min pin owners on various websites have advised as being acceptable. Now, is there some way to stop her finicky eating habits and get her to eat her dry dog food? I really don't want to keep feeding her human food because it's not a balanced diet. She loves monterey jack cheese too.. She's also much more active than I initially thought. I'm seeing some of that typical mini-pin mischievious quality people always talk about. She'll run at me at full gallop and slide on the floor licking or gently biting my ankle. She also likes to investigate open containers and generally get into things she's not supposed to. Oh, and she finally barked , apparently there was something rustling around in the bushes and she let out 3 little alarm barks. Today I finally taught her to sit when accepting treats but is there a website or something that will give tips on how to train "recall" and other basic commands? Thanks a lot guys. |
