Dog thread!🐾

Brew and I need to start doggy boot camp for a while LOL

He needs work on his manners like not lunging (and crying) at people and dogs even if it’s just to say hi.

Not lunging at SQUIRRELS.

And probably most importantly, not lunging at CARS!

That last one is a fairly recent thing where when he sees a car, he will try to walk out into the road and/or lunge at it. And it’s not every car I’m pretty sure so idk why it’s some cars and not others. Today’s car was white which so is one of our cars so idk if he thought it was Gramp’s car? But it was a totally different size, shape, make, everything and plus their sense of smell is amazing so that shouldn’t have been it. I just don’t know. But I have to stop it. I reeled him in tight and told him NO! in a stern voice but not yelling obviously and thankfully he sat down on his own. So that’s good. But yeah.

For the squirrels. Distraction works best. Tucker still goes at a few but if he doesnt see them he doesnt lunge.

For the cars do some training on a buzy road. Make sure he knows a sit stay. Praise him when he doesnt lunge. Dont praise and say no when he does.

Our backdoor neighbors brother or sister has them. One day the snuck into our yard for the chickens. They were sweet but i know they were hunting. I love the color. All reds catch my eye

Yeah I love the color too.

Thanks!!! I’ll try that. We do have a fairly busy road near here that I can walk down to and practice on so that’s good.

Hopefully it works.
