Maybe the dog wants a new name or doesn't like his old name?
Teek was 9 years old when I got him and they had gotten him as a puppy so he knew that was his name. I think he thought that if he had that name he might be going back to them or something. I changed his name and it was like he knew he was spending the rest of his life with me. |
I'm soo glad Teek is with you now. Poor thing, I'm guessing he got into trouble and associates his old name with negativity.

This is Penny working on focus with distractions and heeling in position. Left turns are little difficult because she likes to walk a little too far front. Look at me! I’m all wrong too! Sigh… treating with the incorrect hand, holding at leash wrong etc...
