Yeah ..so far so good with our cats...he is really only interested in my son..so the cats don't phase him yet..no chasing etc.

 

Been a busy day for him..played himself into a deep sleep..

 

But very focused on my son..always with him, follows him everywhere.

It's becoming a little expensive with all the animals, vets, food etc. Then we also have 20 lovebirds, 4 cockatiel, 2 marmot, +- 70 rabbits. [emoji3061] Edited by BSG

Oh my goodness.. he is so cute.. sleeps in the crate, very vocal so wakes my son up to go out. During the day when he wants to go out he moans and then runs straight to the front door. So clever..

 

My son was up at 5am to do some training with him and even has him heeling nicely. Then he went on the school run.

Judging by the size of the paws your going to need a bigger crate. Probably by next week :clap: :clap:

Yeah..fortunately when I bought the crate I accidentally bought an XXL..

 

The carseat thingy however will be too small next week...we'll have to make another plan.[emoji23]

 

After a morning of fun we are now very very tired.

 

The play pen is was definitely a good buy, but I had to move my desk around so that he could see me..in between play time he naps in it next to my desk

 

And human look my one ear is up..followed by plonk..back to sleep

BUT look at that face

Interesting question that.Some dogs simply don't like to do it. It is quite common. The theory is that it is a submissive thing to do, the first half of lying down and rolling over, and that especially strong willed ones don't like doing it. Speculation, I know, but I have found that more males showed that tendency and more of the strong willed ones. With time they do learn it, so persevere. Use both a voice command and a hand signal together, it has a MUCH stronger impact than just a voice alone. Like combining "platz" with an arm swinging down from waist height to end with a hand flat on the floor. :) Enjoy!

I assume the German command to lie down. Often owners teach the German Shepherds traditional German commands. 

 

It is useful if you have a dog that responds to different commands from others when you work in a group (puppy class?) because it will not get confused when one of the other dogs get a command. We see it with retrievers. Five dogs sit/stay and are over keen and ready to "fetch". One owner gives the fetch command and 5 dogs take off like rockets. Now if your dog only knew "bring", he would not make that mistake. Make sense?
