Luma is guilty of this as well...we are constantly saying to people, "She's only like this when we're out of the house." In our home she listens, she can do many tricks and knows sit, stay, come, down, etc. But in public, or as soon as we hook her harness to the leash she DASHES forward, pulls so that she is panting and running in place. At the dog park she is well behaved except she is always licking strangers. They think it's cute, but it really is embarassing. She will whine nonstop and pull on her leash at petsmart, on walks, ANYWHERE. She barely responds to us calling her name, when we're in public. She refuses to do any commands either. Not sure what to do, just posting here so I can read all the advice that anyone has to offer to the OP. |
