fausto is 14 months and nows the basic commands. with laying down the treats didn't work. he refused to lay on the grass. within the house he does everything. i found out that the toy he loves he will do anything for. so when i show it he lays down. i throw the toy immidiatly. when he has the hang of it i delay the time when i throw the toy. he now does it on command. but he can be soooooooooooooo stubbern! i was training him the otherday and i was teaching him to stay. i hadden't done this before and he stayed in the sit command for a whole minute! he proved again how intelligent he is again!
