Hi,
I have a 5 month old springer spaniel who is lovely. Training is coming on well, he picks things up really quickly and is generally pretty reliable and loves learning things/training. However in the past month he has started to refuse to sit outside if the ground is wet/damp which it is most of the time. He knows exactly what you are asking and is very happy to do it inside instantly and will wait etc... he will eventually hover outside, without letting his bottom touch the ground, if you wait long enough but this generally takes a good few minutes which seems ridiculous as he is more than happy to splash in puddles and has even been in a little pond this morning (more by accident but he seemed to enjoy it once he had got over the surprise!). I feel that I am repeating the command over and over and he is blatantly ignoring me.......... Any tips or advice would be welcome!
