Sooo Reddish!! I Love reddishes!! Me myself have a Baby Red Rat!! ...
As regarding training, I suggest: start with the first rules at home (remember: what you allow NOW that he is a Puppy, he will want to do it even when he is a HUGE wolf ... so think carefully XD), socialising him at the most (even before the vaccinations are complete, just pay attention to what he comes in contact with) and, as soon as the vaccinations are complete, go to training. If it is done well, it will teach YOU how to handle him, and it will teach HIM that you are trustful and loyal and it is good to follow and obey . Working with one's dog is funny and gives a lot of satisfaction, at least to me! |

We started almost immediately training Lorka in returning food (raw bone) in exchange for pieces of meat, leaving our bed or couch on command, walking on leash in the hall, "don't touch" and "come" commads, etc. It's also a good idea to carry the pup for a walk (vaccinations!) and take him to various places to show him a bit of the world, traffic, people, and accustom him to the car (at the beginning just give him food there and play for a while). Of course such 'trainings' should be playful and very short, a few minutes every couple of hours Belive me, it's much easier to teach the little puppy, for example that you have the right to remove anything from his mouth, than a big animal with wolf-like teeth. |

6 weeks old is very young to be away from mum and siblings - our pups do not leave mum till they are at least 10 weeks old. You may have trouble with his bite inhibition as he has not learnt this from his litter mates - be careful of this especially with your child... CsV puppies use their mouths a LOT in play and have no idea of their own strength

Always use more `OK` than `NO` After `NO` you must show some replacement behavior with is `OK` You can`t be this man who only prohibit

Yes, why 6 weeks? I took Spettro when he was 8 weeks old (it seems so few time but they make ALL the difference). I wanted him to be on full in his best socialisation period (5-13 weeks) without losing the inibition of the bite of his mum. Anyway in Italy you cannot give a puppy away before 60 days or so!
And I started immediately the training, little things, always put in a playful manner, so that he had to think about it but enjoyed it. Anyway, at 6 weeks he is old enough to learn in a playful manner the "Sit", the "down", and do not be indulgent with him now otherwise he will pretend it as an adult. You'll have to be softly strict... |

Today my son cried few times because of this. So ... this is the reason that I think No is the first command. I will try to teach him that we are not his dolls ... he has few toys and he can bite them as much as he want. Also because his age I think I will keep him over the night inside the house even it is a little messy ... outside are around zero Celsius degrees ... I don't know if this is a good idea but it's what I feel ... Last edited by deocamdata; 09-11-2011 at 21:48. |

Add that puppy's teeth are a nightmare... and I can believe you child cries .
Ok, when he bites you, you should cry (like they do... imitate their crying), then say a kind NO and offer him something else to bite as soon as he leaves you. Be patient. Do you know some other dog he can stay with few times a week (obviously vaccinated and equilibrated!) that can teach him how to behave? It would help a bit. |

Our dogs always stay inside with us.
And my male CsV still uses his teeth on me sometimes too roughly, only he figured out finally after about 10 months not to put teeth on my face (but hands, arms, and legs are still OK.. ) Lots of patience and lots of repetition is necessary... |

Be always careful when cat and dog are together and they may be able to live together and like it .
Spettro stays in home too, he sleeps here in house and stays with us. He now knows how to control his bite most of the times, but with puppy's teeth I just wanted to cry XD... it will pass! |

Yes Deocamdata, I do have a garden, but Spettro stays inside anyway.
If you need a guard dog, remember that CSWs usually do not guard Places but people. So the best place you can keep him to do this job is in home, as he will tend to warn the pack of strange things! Spettro does a lot of guard now, if someone stays in front of my home, he will at first give me a Woof Woof to warn me and then bark loudly to warn the people outside to STAY outside XD... |

Until he came to your house, he had been spending all his time with his mum and the rest of pups. It must be a really huge shock for the baby suddenly to be left all alone... Staying alone is always one of the most difficult issues with vlcaks. Of course it should be taught, but gradually... |

For sure it is a cruelty for a young puppy. Now he is staying in house during the night and also from time to time during the day. I don't want to get used him only inside ...
But for a dog ... it's a normal situation in my opinion ... |

It's also important to train him not to pee in the house. You can put him stay outside, in the paddock, but you must reward him every time he enters and stay there and then increase the time progressivelly. He must not preceive it like a punishment. And when you establish a rule, don't deviate form it. And remember: he will always try to be the boss. The success for his training lies only in your hands (and your family's). Every dog will defend its teritory. So I'm sure that your dog will bark at the people or dogs approaching your home. But, as other colleagues here said it: the czw is best for personal defence. They would love to defend you and your family. |
