My new toy fox terrier puppy - Divot

Some video of me working a bit with my new toy fox terrier puppy, Divot. He is 9 weeks old, He loves to tug and is a lot of fun to train! That is Libby shrieking in the background and scratching at the door. She knows Divot is getting some treats and having fun - and she wants in on it.

whats the first thing i should do, one the first day to get my toy fox terrier to do that?

[jenniincalitft]

@FuTuReRoYaL Clicker training... show the dog that when you click the clicker, he gets a treat... then wait for the dog to sit on his own, click the clicker, and reward. They catch on quick and start offering a sit in hopes of a reward. Repeat for other behaviors, like a down.

[jenniincalitft]

@bludog125 Yes, his tail is docked.

new tricks!! Please tell me about the breed and their best features. Are they good lap dogs? Do they like to play? I'm 13 but responsible and I have a loving labrador retriever already. :-) Please reply!!! THANK YOU!

@Sunshinecircle123 You can also learn more about the breed on the AKC breed club's website (search for the American Toy Fox Terrier Club's website), as well as the AKC website.

Why do people dock their tails? Especially if they are just companions and not show dogs. My pup kept her tail (thank goodness)

Why do people cut their foxies tails? they look so much better with their tails.
