That sounds good! I’d just do engagement work to try to keep his attention on you at first. Or you could take the opposite approach and let him soak for a bitThat’s okay!!!!!!!! LOL
Will do!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think sitting in the driveway and/or front/side yard would help? Set far back at first. But just to get used to other dogs walking by? Before we start with the walks? Or in addition to it? But we might be sitting there a long time.
Thanks!!!!! Maybe I’ll practice engagement in the house first LOLThat sounds good! I’d just do engagement work to try to keep his attention on you at first. Or you could take the opposite approach and let him soak for a bit
That’s a good idea!
Thanks!!!!!!! Thankfully he’s not TOO terrible with engagement since we did take a puppy class and we did used to practice in public like parking lots and stuff a lot so he knows it. I just haven’t asked for it in a while. LOL
Hopefully not! Starting inside is definitely a good idea. He like toys or treats better?
Hard to say. He LOVES to play and used to engage better with tug, etc. as an adolescent but now he’s older and lazier and I don’t think he would engage as well with that. LOL And he did also engage fine for treats in puppy class. Just as long as I had the good stuff. Hahahaha so I’m gonna try treats.
That sounds perfect!
Thanks!!!!!!!! We just walked and didn’t see anyone except family lolThat sounds perfect!
Lmaoooooo same! I’m like… SO prepared now and we haven’t seen anybody! Then the one time I think “oh we don’t need all this gear” we will see someone lmaoooooI hate it when that happensI’m like “I JUST WANT SMEONE FOR CHASE TO BARK AT”
