Thanks everyone! I'd like to get Tommy in some obedience training at some point. I totally agree that he needs more socialization. He is (surprising to me) friendly with the other doggies in the neighborhood. Recently, he's been even initating the contact. So, I guess it's a start.
So far, I've only tried one 'obedience' lesson on him. And that was teaching him his name. For the most part, I'd say 90% of the time he listens to his name. I'm going to try the 'sit' command next. I dont want to get frustrated by this all though. Is 10min/day too much? Or should I break the lessons down a few times per day? |
