LabLover,
Please don't be upset with Sadie or yourself.
Lab's are very smart dogs and they are also
perpetual puppies too. Always wanting
to play.
One of the first things I learned was
never to repeat a comand more than once.
If you give the command to sit, and
Saddie doesn't listen, you than
correct her by leash into the sit command.
(no second command)
How about taking Sadie to a local
obediece class? I bet you both will
have fun. Once the instructor teaches
you how to teach Sadie, than
you can teach Sadie on your own.
I still take Rocky to obedience.
I actually enjoy going.
If you do not have a local obedience
class in your area, you might
even go to your local library and
check out a training book/watch a vidio tape on training.
Dr. Ian Dunbar's Sirius Training is a popular one. Don't dispair Sadie
is so smart, she just knows she can
get away with stuff.
