Update of his Training Progress @ 10 Weeks old!

He has manage to learn some basics.

But I still wanted him to go have some lesson in Petsmart because at least he get to socialise with other puppies and kinda of learn how to play safer. He is rather aggressive and show no fear with big dogs. He NO scare, I scare!

And so far he is scare of sudden loud noises and CHILDREN! Once, a group of children shouting "PUPPIEeEEeeeEssssS" and rush towards him, he is so scared he PEE on YQ! Hahahaha ...

I think he learn and get the idea rather fast but the fact is I trained with him 3x a day, everyday on every meal. VERY HARD NOT to learn right? The happiest time with him should be when HE SLEEP and when I train with him and he perfected all the moves very well!

10 weeks @ 9lbs!

Omg he has put on 4lbs since he arrived.
Is that too much?
I told YQ he has become so heavy, he still has NO.

I told him cos most of the time, I am the one carrying him, hahaha ...
And his tummy is slipping out of my hand!

And he has learn :

Sit
Down
Roll

Stand
Turn

Shake Hand
Bang

Guess that is alot for a 10 Weeks old puppy right?
But he is still naughty and some days there are ZERO accidents but some days he just pee here and there.

Don't know to love him or hate him!
When can he be trusted?

It is getting warm and he need 2 fans to sleep!

In Petco

Someone say "He should be on TV" and "He have the Perfect ear"!

... Proud ...

Toto and his FAN

Toto sleep in the room with us in his crate.
Today he bark facing the back of the crate towards the bedroom door, into nothing; it was soooooooo eerie~ I hate dog barking at nothing, and I always think they are barking at the 'ka ka'! It really freezes me up! And later hubby realised, the fan is not on. And he is barking at the FAN!!!

And true enough after YQ went to ON the fan, he stop barking and went off to sleep! Don't misunderstand Toto, his bark is once or twice nia! Usually he don't bark continuously, just once or twice to let us know he wants our attention for something.

So far, he usually bark to go toilet, wanting us to pet him, wanting us to carry him or his teeth is itchy and he need to bite on something we allow.

And the newest addition is bark to switch ON the fan!
Sometime he also whine to let us know he want us to switch on the fan!
PAMPERED dog right!

Toto @ 9 wks Video!

His first video, usually his performance is better.
Hahaha too hungry today!
But this week, he learnt ; Sit, Down, Roll, Stand, and Turn!
He works for his FOOD!
No actions no food! Hubby think I very cruel, a few actions then only ONE kibble!
Hahahaha, we use his usual kibbles for training.

And now he slowly get the idea of Sit and Down, without kibbles!

Legacy village : Out to Socialise!

Brought him out to have some socialisation!
Let him get use to the outdoor scenes, noises, sights, colours, children, dogs, kids, adults and all colours! And he is a superstar, everyone wants a piece of him. We hear alot of awwwwwww, ahhhhhhhhh; he is sooooo cute! And he did well with all the socialisation, and he is not afraid of HUGE dogs, and want to bully them. NOTTI!

One fact, he didn't try to pee or poo during the WHOLE process when we went out. He only do it when we are getting food to go home and brought him to a patch of grass and coax him to Pee! We should be happy that we have a well mannered dog or a stupid one who dun want to pee when he is outside!? But his timetable was a but mixed up because we went out and he didn't have his meal, pee and poo on time!

Today we also achieved to let him got use to his soft crate and he is so tired he fell asleep in it!
Yeahhhhhh ~

YQ will always hv a better shots with him because his attention is always ON ME!

After the walk he is too tired, he has to fall alseep somewhere and he has gotten to sleep in the soft crate.

We are happy!

A tired westie, but there are too much distraction around for him to fall into deep sleep!

Knock out when he can!

And for once, he woke up fully 9am the next day!

Almost one week!

It has been almost ONE WEEK that he is here and we are SO DRAINED out of our energy! But we are getting use to each other in our lifes! Toto loves me so much, hubby is VERY JEALOUS! He looks for me for cuddle, petting, food, play and approval!

Hubby says, Toto loves me More than HIM!
Toto loves me to bits to! It often bring abit of pleasure knowing that Toto is looking out for me, and preferring me to carry him than YQ. He even prefer to play in my lap! Or if YQ is carrying him in the Patio enjoying the view, he prefers me to carry him than YQ! And if I walk pass, whatever Toto is doing, it will just turn around and look at me hoping I walk over to pet him! YQ complains SO UNFAIR, when I kept saying I want to give him away, yet Toto still loves me more than him, haha ...


When we play acting that YQ is bullying me, and ask Toto to help me, he will try to jump Snapping at YQ!!

 So I am the center of universe in his life, hahahaha ...

Hubby is a GREEN monster!

Something ODD :

• He is a homey dog, he DO NOT like to go out! We have to FORCE him out the house. And the happiest moments in our walk is WHEN he is running up the steps BACK HOME!

• He will Poo outdoor but Pee indoor!

• Yeah, we are understanding him slowly and controlling him better so he is making less and less mistakes! (Plus we are crating him more.)

• He is most accurate when he is in crate, he will BARK at us for attention when he need to Pee or Poo when he is in crate! And we don't have to wake up EVERY one or two hour for him. He can control his pee rather well for his age! For now, he is can be tolerating up to about 6-7hours ...

• He prefer cloth toys to rubbers ones! We think, he might not like the taste of rubber which works well for us because it meant he doesn't like the taste of cables or wires!

• Another thing we love about him, he doesn't have the habit of roaming the house, usually he likes to keep himself near us. So we didn't have problem of him biting this or that. (But we are still in an early stage, I know!)

ONE MAJOR FLAW :

• He wakes TOO EARLY for my liking, like 5am! He will still try to sleep till 7am till SUNRISE, but really TOO EARLY for an owl like me.

Toto with his favourite, toy; Gecko!

Nope we do not allow him on the Patio Fake grass!

But he is allow on our lap, enjoying the sunset ...

Who says Westie are NOT lapdog?

He lap till my thigh went numb like 3hours napping on my BIG FAT THIGH!

Toto just love the sunset and the view of our patio!

He looks like a Meow Meow from behind right!!

Oh, he allow our HAND or us to meddle in his food.

He will not snarl or bark or snap at us halfway through his meal even if we take away his bowl or just meddle with his food! That is A VERY GOOD HABIT!

He loves the water but he doesn't know how to swim, maybe we can train him to be a life guard dog yeah!

Trying to train him to stay in my bag when we go out!

His daily walk!

His Pee pee and Poo poo Indoor Nugi Pad!

X rated!

Pee Pee on Tray!

Love and hate relationship goes on ...
