Im always open for advice and try a lot of things I have read in here. Before I was just sort of getting by with him. but when Leo started his aggression towards other dogs, I knew where to come
Am trying the technique out but as theres not many dogs about when we go out its hard to see if theres any progress
but in the house he's getting a lot better with commands.
Now he does the following tricks with ease (sometimes lol I think his brains still on scatty puppy mode! SO now and again he needs coaxing and repeating)
Sit
Down (off chairs and sofa)
Lay down (I also point to the floor and he knows the difference)
Paw
Tickle tummy (he'll roll for his tummy to be tickled...its quite funny)
Drop (sometimes)
Dance (which he procceeds to do across the floor...its a wonder he stays upright when his tails wagging so hard while he does it
)
Fetch it (when we play...and sometimes if I tell him to get something)
Wait
Leave it
Quiet
find (I can tell him to find a member of the household and almost everytime he'll find who I was him to find...its all a game to him!)
he'll also respond if I say who's coming and he'll race to the back door, or the living room window to see who it is lol
and he also does catch...I use a treat and toss it, 9 times outta 10 he catches it lol
But he is having problems on the lead, but I just walk the other way with him and he's slowly learning to do u'ies. But am training ihim in the house or the garden as he gets too excited when we're outside
!) year old Mum of 3 boys. I have a 7 month old staffy X Chinese crested pup called Leo who is my bundle of love but he does have issues with other dogs...he's fine with my mothers 5 year old yorkie, but any other dog he tends to yelp and lunge at. He used to be fine with other dogs, curious even, but has had 2-3 bad meetings with some nasty dogs and now it seems his trust has dissapeared.
