I am getting my new Rottweiler puppy January 20 and she will be 8 weeks I understand starting with crate and potty training are top of the training list but I consider those 2 things a "duh!" in where to start along with socialization. very important with all breeds but especially a Rottie. There is so much information and I'm appreciative of the bang for my buck, but also overwhelmed. I realize all puppies are different but shouldn't the obedience be mastered before "tricks"? but then "look at me" is maybe the FIRST thing that should be taught?? I am excited about learning and teaching my new puppy. I don't want to screw this up. It would be helpful for the way may brain works to have a step-by-step basic outline of the basic essentials of obedience with brain training notables to accelerate the particulars. I find myself jumping back and forth from puppy to brain back to obedience to the forums and by then I've forgotten where I am at and what I was reading about to start. Help!! Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a question regarding moving into a variable reward schedule. My dog is sitting on cue easily. I am still clicking and rewarding every time his butt touches the ground. In a few days I would like to start spacing out the rewards a little and am wondering if I should still click every time he sits, but only reward every couple of times. But then I feel like that would uncharge the clicker. So I am wondering, if a click is always accompanied by a treat, do I refrain from clicking on the variable training schedule as well? Thanks, just confused.

Hello, I have three dogs. German shepherd, jack russel, and chihuahua. I am training all three of them and am in the process of teaching the two littles ones to sit. Should I use their names and the beginning of a cue, like " bella sit" and "apple sit" in order to not confuse them all when only asking one to sit? Or will they all sit anyways regardless if their name is in front or not? thanks!
