I am enjoying the raising your puppy video by Ellis and have started teaching our new pup, Greta, her name. She's doing well and seems to be having fun with the 'game.'
Question, though, if we want her to respond equally to my husband and I, do we need to take turns with the training exercises so she gets it from both of us? Or will that be confusing?
I have inadvertently been using a higher pitched sound when saying her name... when my husband tried calling her name yesterday she ignored him, but came to me when I did the same thing. He did it again in a sing-songy falsetto (poking fun at me) and she came trotting over... obviously I'm doing something wrong, lol.

I trained in a club with a professional trainer. He not only initiated the training on the dog but also taught the owners how to train, not just handle, their dogs. When he worked with families, he always identified a primary handler first, and had the other family members observe. He would gradually introduce other family members, once the dog, the primary, and the observing family members had a grasp on the dynamics and knew what was expected.

Thanks for the help, Bob & Duane. Yes- marker training with "yesssss." Glad to know it's not just me, lol.
She seems to be picking things up quickly- thanks to our older dog she figured out how to get through the dog door on day 3 after bringing her home. This was both good and bad, lol. Saw the first signs of her maybe putting it together (go through the dog door to go outside and do her business) this morning which was encouraging!
