i agree that basic obedience commands are very important and it's best to start with those. teaching him to walk on a leash is also another must. another thing i would suggest is to go some place where there's more distractions, someplace different from the area where you normally do your training and see if he would respond to you as readily.
so far my bunjee responds to me readily when we're in the confines of his kitchen area. (like watch me, come, sit, wait, down, go potty, go crate, no whining) but once we're outside or at obedience class where there's more distractions, he's more curious and wanting to explore than he is ready to listen and respond to my commands. same when we're someplace familiar, walking on a leash is a cinch. someplace different, and he'll start to pull and tug. |
