Have a 6 six month old cocker spaniel who is good at home has two walks a day and lots of time in the garden during the day. Is rarely on his own as I don't work so does get lots of attention and is doing well with his training. But when it comes to walks and puppy class he is a nightmare! Is get very excited whenever he sees another dog and person on our walks and jumps and pulls on the lead. I am trying to make him sit and drop treats as recommended by our trainer and it is starting to work but not all the time. My main problem at puppy class is there is one puppy he is obsessed with. Gets very excited when he plays with her and won't leave her alone the whole time! We have to be separated into different rooms so they can do their training, as he won't focus and it is if there is nothing else in the room but this puppy. Our trainer has advise us that it is because he doesn't get enough play time with other dogs. So I ended up sending him to doggie daycare for the day to get some socialisation but the some thing happened with a different puppy. He just would not leave her alone and got sent home early!! Neither of the other puppies were in heat so I don't think it was that. Amy suggestion on how to help him with his obsession!!
