dog training for puppy?
Kaiser is a 5 month old ‘pound puppy’ and a great little guy. We went to puppy school at 10 weeks and he had all the basics down cold. Now that he’s a little older and has more confidence he is testing me a bit. “Did you say COME? I will, in a minute” for instance. I want to nip this in the bud. Should he go back on the leash? What is the next step to get his attention again? I had been able to have him respond amazingly off the leash (without distractions) he still does, just not as quickly as he was. Now, he may sit and look at me as if to say, “What if I don’t WANT to go in now?” I have always trained with a baggie of treats. Suggestions appreciated! Thanks……….
Sounds like he’s trying to become the leader. You need to put him in his place. Take him to some obedience classes. They should help. Don’t let him test you or push your buttons. Good Luck.
