I have had my new CKCS Phoebe for 2 weeks now...we love her so much she is 10 weeks old!
Yesterday I took her to the vet for a check up and in the process was chatting with other pet owners in the waiting room with their dogs.
Phoebe has been 100% fully house trained since 9 weeks old - it took me about 5 days of training and she now goes to the door 100% of the time. Goes to the door and stratches to go out and then will scratch the door to come back in when she is done.
She is also completely crate trained and sleeps through the night without a peep from her and never had an accident in her crate. This took me 3 nights to accomplish with her.
She understands 'no' and complete recognizes and reacts to her name.
So when I was explaining this to the dog owners at the vet they were shocked that a 9 week old (now 10) could be at this stage of her training.
Phoebe is my first dog...is she just completely smart or is this common for such a small puppy? I won't deny I have worked diligently with her since the moment she came home but I must admit I did not expect it to happen so smoothly and quickly.
I am really looking forward to doing more training with her to see what she can do. Its like she is a little human in a little puppy body. :l*v:
