HELP!!!!! leash training.......? Okay so here's my story. I wasn't ever really thinking about the fact that tucker might not like the leash since my dog rusty and my other bandit (RIP) both took to the leash perfectly. Well, I frist started training tucker inside without the leash and he got it really well. I also didn't really think it was nessesary to use the leash outside because he never leaves your side. well i take him for walks too i should have known he had a problem becuase he won't walk on the leash for walks either. he just lays down so i have to carry him. i had him outside on the leash last night becuase i don't like him out in the dark without a leash because he's hard to see.well he runs to one end of the leash and back and does back flips and rolls in the grass he tries really hard to get it off and he's out of control. we're going to use him as a service dog for my mom but we can't if he is uncontrolable on the leash.
at the moment we're doing the thing where he has it on in the house so he gets used to it. i have him confined to the living room with me so he can't get cought on anything. it seems to be going well he's been doing that for the last 5 minutes or so. if you have any idea on how i can leash train him please tell me. i love him to peices but you all know how there's that one thing that drives you crazy LOL. well i have all summer and right now my patients with him are good (LOL) so if you have any idea on what to do please help me! thanks in advanced!
