I should add that there is a large age difference between the two dogs. Ruger is only 6 months old, while Miles, a Westie, is 9 years old. |
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh he's just a puppy? Puppies do these things. He's needs
training. I'm surprised Miles dosen't correct him by snapping at him when
he's jumped on. Puppies need to be told what is right and what is wrong.
They do not know. Very much like teaching a small child how to behave.
People assume dogs know these things. Just correct him when he jumps
up on Miles. While walking the two together use a "walk nice harness" on
Ruger keeping him close to you. Keep treats in your pocket and when he
bolts out or tries to get to Miles correct him telling him WALK and treat him
immediately. Give him a couple of times and he will realize if he walks by
your side he will get a treat. Make sure you talk to him while walking and
if he walks nice next to you, lean down and treat him and tell him good boy.
The harness is key. The hook is under the breast bone and this gives you
better control over your dog. Have patience because it takes time and
you have a puppy who just wants to play most of the day. It's what
they do. LOL
PS make sure the treat is not given in the house. It needs to be special for outdoors only. Little pieces of chicken or cheerios
is great. Something he will look forward too.
It works I've been traiing with a trainer and Buddy has learned
to walk properly after 5yrs. LOL
