i was just wondering how long it took everyone to teach their furbabies basic commands, such as sit, down, leave, etc... i have a 12 week old and he has some of them and were working on others. just wondering what other people have experienced

Tyson is 18 weeks and we've been training him since he was 8 1/2 weeks old. I usually train for about 5 - 10 minutes 3 x per day. I'd say it took him a day and a half to catch on to "sit". It took him almost a week to be consistent for "down". We're still working on "stay"... that's a real tough one for him. He's pretty good at "off", but not perfect. I got him to "shake" within a week, although that's not really a basic command. I'd say over all, most commands took around a week, although the tougher ones, such as "come" and "stay" are an ongoing battle.
