Well Rajah has been her for 10 days and he is finally starting to come around. He was pretty stressed his first week here and we took his training very slowly. Now he is starting to understand what things are all about here. I also found something that he likes, to assist with his training...hot dogs! He need just a little something extra to help him "come around". Hot dogs did the trick. So far, the commands that Rajah has been taught are sit, down, come, stay, place, heel and come on. He is also working on the "quiet" or no barking command. He is a chihuahua and barking at strangers (or even people he is not comfortable with) is almost an automatic response. I am not sure that will ever be 100% but we have DEFINITELY gotten more control over it. Here are a few pics of Rajah in training. Some of the pics show the "place" command on a rock and other pics show a sit-stay and a"down" under distraction (the cat attacking him). I would say that is a pretty good distraction for any dog.
