Re: Running into other dogs/distractions while walking

Okay, I just tried one more time, now that he is worn out a little bit. This time I used a more tempting treat... cheese! He stood and watched the cat without whining, pulling, or barking and I clicked like crazy and gave him lots of praise and bits of cheese. We gradually moved closer to the cat un...

Re: Running into other dogs/distractions while walking

I just tried to take him out again to practice. It was even worse this time!

Re: Good small breed dogs

Re: Good small breed dogs

I have a Cavachon and he is the best dog I could have ever imagined! I got him about 2 years ago, I was moving into an apartment on my own for the first time, and always being a dog lover, I wanted a companion. I have severe allergies and asthma, which is why I got a cavachon in the first place, and...
