Okay, the first day of training...UGHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I took her on a LONG walk, and she did better than I thought, until she saw another dog. This dog is friendly, while Alex tries to rip up eveything in her way! I am glad that I had two leashes and my cousin! We tied Alex and Katie stayed with her while I put the dog on the other leash and found her house. First bad part if the lessons.
Then, we took her to a park, and, well, she can get out of her collar. She likes to play with little kids by pinning them, and there were 3 and 4 year olds there. They saw us trying to get Alex, and layed down calling her! I stayed close to them while Andy (her owner) and Katie tried to catch her. I sat down and she bouded up to me. I told her "Godd girl!" and pet her while Katie and Andy got her collar back on.
Now for the good part. She knows sit all ready! One session and she learned it! YAY!!!! She is very intelligent, as I have said before
My aunt all ready tried many obediance courses. One told her to leaveHmm...I have a neighbour with a boston terrier- very, very hyper! Sounds like the same issue as you have with the dog. She was going to take her dog to obiedience and agility training- or flyball. It gets a lot of their energy out- so I heard. You could try that...and one was mean and yeld at Alex! The rest only lasted three days...No luck there. She also doesn't like dogs and probably fely a little threatened and nervous.
For agility training, that would be fun for both of us!-but, of course, we don't have one in our town!
NopeDoes she like food?I have tried that in her kennel...Doesn't affect her at all. But, I have found an old sock that is hers, and we play tug-of-war with that! We do that in between 1 minute training sessions...
Thank you! That gives me A LOT more encouragementYour Aunt and Alex are very lucky to have you help them out with training.
Sounds like you have your work cut out for you and that you are well prepared a fun filled training session.I am having TONS of fun too, for the most part
I have one question, how do you get her to drop her ball, I can't figure it out, she tries to play tug-of-war with that too!
Thanks everyone!-Steph and Jes
