We took him to obedience school, which was a total joke. Treats and praise get him to do nothing, unless he chooses to do it. We just go along with it, he is very well behaved except for this behavior. We are used to it now!  |
LOL your boy sounds just like mine Jake he is so independant and dominant he knows all the comands for training and if he chooses to do it he can but it is his choice.
He is to smart for his own good, he was bad for running after bikes in the park if off the lead. Trainer said to take a toy or treat he loved with us and if we saw a bike to distract him with it, but he only got the treat or toy when bikes were coming. Well this worked great for a week, saw a bike took out jakes ball played, bike went by jake didnt care BUT....... after a week smart boy realised that if I took the ball out I had seen something ahead he wanted to chase so it went like, I see bike get out ball, Jake sees ball knows Ive seen bike, Jake runs in all directions till sees bike, Jake chases bike!!!! Smarty pants!!!
I swear I can think in my head im going to bath him or brush him and he looks at me and raises an eyebrow as if to say you think so and goes behind the couch where I cant reach him!
