We have a 10 week old puppy who we got at 8wks and she mastered 'sit' on the 2nd day we had her. I started teaching her as a sort of joke, and she picked it up after about 3 goes. Not exactly a trick, but I'm very proud of her! We have since gone on to 'lie down' and 'roll over', and we are training her to 'sit' before getting her dinner, going out, or getting a lift on to the sofa etc. etc.
We are now working on 'stay', 'off', 'down', 'leave it', and 'drop it'. It seems like these commands are the next level up and progress has slowed down quite a bit. I'm quite glad about this as we will need to think of more things to train her soon otherwise! On Saturday we get to take her out to the park etc. so I guess we will need to start training her to walk on a lead. We have tried in the garden but its not going too well. I'm hoping once she is out and distracted by smells and new things she won't be so bothered.
