omg! u foresee soooo well! What is the old Chinese saying again? Something like u need to practice every day to get urself ready for one day, something like that..
Duncan just rushs out the door which ever door it is. He just likes to the first one to sneek in and out the bedroom and he also know how to push open doors..
I told him sit and stay before the incident, he did listen and did good. Duncan never dares to step out the front door before for some reason, and it all changed in a sudden for some reason. He was trying to say hi to post lady, she total neglected him, then he started to run around.. It may also because it's been storm for sevel days, he just needs to run around?
I yeld Duncan to come back or at least to me, he just turned around glanced at me then kept going.
r u a pro trainer? I'm gonna follow the steps starting from tomorrow
tnx a lot!

So they will eventually understand that ALL doorways they have to wait for your OK to go through. Most likely Duncan was just trying to say hi to the mail carrier. If Uni sees someone outside, then yes she will run through, but only to the person, not to go down the street. Also, if i call her back in, she will come back in.
Also work on your "stay". Have Duncan stay and you back away from him a few feet, with you facing him. Then come back to him and reward. Don't have him stay then come to you. He needs to know the difference between stay and come, and sometimes it will confuse them if you have them come to you. Keep extending the distance and time of your stay, until you know he got it. Then try doing the stay and you turn your back from him, then come back.
In the meantime while training, yes get the baby gate.  |
