When we're at home, he is absolutely fine and will do as he is asked. The minute we step outside the front door, he completely ignores me.
He is a black lab cross and nearly 2 years old, I got him from a rescue place just over a year ago. I had hoped that he would calm down as he got a bit older, but he is still so interested in everything he sees that walking him is a bit of a nightmare.
He loves other dogs and if we see one, he is desperate to get to it. We live in the country so we are surrounded by livestock and rabbits, pheasant and anything moving is just so tempting for him. Because of his unreliable behaviour I can't let him off the lead very often because I can't guarantee i'll get him back, which is a shame.
Any advice on how to get him to focus on me rather than everything else?
