He's 3 months

He's just a baby. You are doing really well. Truly, he is doing fantastic.
I know a few 6 month old pups round here that don't even know what 'sit' means.

Khan is almost 2 and he knows stand; but he is much more likely to sit or lay down if I don't keep a light touch on his underneath. I personally would much rather have him do a long down, or even a long sit before I fret about the stand. I'm not showing him. Granted I want him to "know" stand, so if your at the vet he can easily stand while getting his temp. taken, or needing something "examined" As long as I know that if I say stand, and can keep him in that position albeit with a little help from me, I'm good with that.

As stated....your doing great for a puppy. We started at 8 weeks...and by the time we got into our STAR Puppy program, we were waaay ahead of everyone. Serenity said a mouth full that's for sure...even though they seem to have it...continue. In regards to boredom...my first Rottie, Dakota was very smart, easy to train, and loved it. He would however get bored if I went through "the motions" in the same pattern...so I had to mix up my routine.
After a while...like when we worked on the recall...he would start to "finish" on his own....and run through the "routine" because he knew what was next....so I had to mix it up a bit.
Our new pup is much more challenging that's for sure...and patience is paramount.
Good for you for training early...it pay's off big time for the rest of your dog's life.
Have fun... it sounds like your on the right track.

Thanks everyone. I have been spending lots of time with him. He is just so smart he makes training really fun. I don't want to confuse him with lots of tricks at once so im working on the basics and I want him to get them very solid and go from there.
