In answer to the training comment... I mentioned that I don't have time to train him, but I do try when I have a chance. I taught him to lay...but he only lays when he thinks there's a treat, and only when he's hungry. So, if he's not hungry, he doesn't lay.
He sits, turns around, stands...all for treats. I was once told that to prevent a dog from barking constantly, you have to teach him to "speak" for a treat. However, he just won't do it...looks at me blankly. Our beagle speaks on cue...even when no treat is out. I tried showing Finn how Mikey gets a treat for speaking....over and over again.
Also, how do you teach him to come? If we can get that one, our problems will be solved.
Thanks! |
