We picked up our awesome Vizsla puppy, Ivy, yesterday. She’s 9 weeks old today. She has learned her name and I was trying to work on “sit”. With my previous two dogs, I taught them to sit by using a treat held at nose level, and then raising it up and over their head....they’d follow and end up in a sit position, at which point I’d say “sit” and give the treat. They learned super quick.
Ivy is super high energy, and she jumps at my hands, wraps her paws around my arms and won’t stay still at all. This method is definitely not working. She is very distracted and rarely makes eye contact because of it. I know she’s very smart, but I’m not sure how to teach her like this. Should I just give it a week and try again?
