We are stuck inside like everyone else today and need to burn off a bit of energy
I’d like to work on some new training but this is my first dog and I don’t really know what to teach
I’m not that interested in twirls and spins etc at this point.
He’s only 4 months so everything so far is useful for things like getting his attention back to me / going to bed / being handled etc
So far we can do
Sit, Lie down, wait, stay, bed, leave, touch, look, paw, place, stand, speak, here, response to name
We practice these all with distance duration and distractions and he’s pretty good, until he decides he’s not interested.
Plus handling with all the body parts
And learning to poo and wee on command - but at this point it feels like we may never get that!
We’re trying to work on a fetch with limited success
He’s barky, easily distracted, a terrible guard dog 90% of the time but very very barky and alert the 10% of the time he wants to get involved and very head strong
No interest in obedience / learning new things / wanting to please us - just the quickest way to get the treats
Is there anything you’ve taught your dogs that you’d really recommend?
