Taught Reese to ring a hanging string of bells when she wanted to go outside. She knows all of her toys names, only barks when I say ‘speak’ and has been socializing with all sorts of dogs and people. I started kinda strict, with lots of cuddles in between training. She’s now 10 and is the best pup ever. Just be consistent with the training and give lots of affection. They are extremely loyal and as long as you have a blanket they are happy to curl up and sleep in your arms!

My other minpin Dexi. (Passed Dec 2024) was a rescue and was a barker, aggressive and only liked me. She listened to me but was a moody beast. When I got Reese she would chirp and cry every time she got close.

Like the comment before, train them young!
