Now he goes all at once I swear he stands there forever! I went through what you are going through, but we kept up with the crate training and Loki was reliable by 8-9 months, totally trained by a year. You have to be consistent now even if it feels like they aren't learning, because one day they will figure it out.
Nico is 11 weeks! And you're right..it is exciting outside for him. He wants to snif everything...he wants to crawl under the fence to get to our cocker, Jaxon...he wants to eat leaves...he wants to get under the cars...the list is ENDLESS! If i put him on his leash...he freezes. I try to make it as boring for him as I possibly can. I know he is still young but he was doing so good there and then it was like we took 5 steps backwards!!!!!
