Mike Saif Webboard User Reg: 04-22-2004 Posts: 27 Loc: Offline	I have a 15 week old GSD. I have bought the tapes - Puppies 8 weeks to 8 months and Basic Obedience. A week ago I started training the sit and down commands with food and it is going pretty good. However, I think I am confusing my dog. For instance, I might train for 5 minutes with the down command and she gets it pretty good. Later in the day I will try 5 minutes of the sit command but she will lie down hoping to get the treat. It takes a few times before I get her to just sit. Later in the day I might try the sit again. Should I train both at the same age or should I wait until she is good enough at the sit before I move to the down? What about the other commands? When should I train those?
