Marker training with a chihuahua: size doesn't matter!

I have gradually been introducing the marker training system that we have been using with Lusi to Remy our Chihuahua. Remy likes to follow Lusi and me around the house while trying his hardest to join in our short indoor winter training routines. Last year I had taken Remy to puppy classes and though he was surprisingly a rather anxious pup he proved to be a very quick learner who loved to train.


Remy and I have just finished a short training session together without the distracting Lusi who has been outside with my husband having a good romp before we take her to the vet for a nail trimming and to get a few other minor issues dealt with! I was so pleased with him. He went through all the stand-sit-down transitions and in all the combinations that I could think of; this is what Remy's trainer had called doing "puppy push-ups"! Good boy Remy!!


It just goes to show that when using marker training, size doesn't matter!
