An Old Dog Can Learn New Tricks!
We took Jack to Puppy Kindergarten when he was six months old. He learned your basic stuff. Stay, sit, down. But any instructor will tell you, that most of the learning is completed at home…outside the classroom…through constant reinforcement. After Jack got his doggy degree, we also taught him paw. What always eluded us, however, was that ever so cute command…roll over. We started slowly…very slowly. Jack is three now…We noticed that when he became turbo Jack, we could quite him down with a gentle…shhhhh. When he hears this command he rolls on to his belly….to have it rubbed…not to go the full three sixty. So we eventually started egging him on with a treat to roll all the way. Let us not kid you, this did not happen over night….but now that hes got it…its so much fun!!

Your dog is so cute. I’m so surprised how much lighter he got as he aged. I am a proud owner of a 12 week old yorkie bichon mix.
she’s just as dark as how jack looked when you first got him.
Hi Lin,
Yea, Jack got much lighter probably around the 6 month mark. His coat does darken up some the longer it gets, mostly on his back. I loved the darker color when he was a pup, but he’s still cute
