Hello all,
Recently my brother gave me his 6 months old lab retriever (Milo), very cute looking dog... Have some questions:
1) Is there any good obedient school that is close to Southside brisbane Macgregor? Hoping it doesn't damage the pocket too much, as we only have moved place a few months ago.. The puppy have finished his puppy school and started obedient school before it arrived in my house, so I would like to continue it if possible.
2) Need the same advise with Vet around our area too, as my brother has told me he already have all the required vaccination, desexed recently (a couple of weeks ago) and I have his papers... But I don't whether it is complete or not.
With his behavior, its good most of the time and shocking sometime.. The only commands which I managed to get him to listen to most of the time is sit, lay down, toilet and stay. Its not consistent tho and no command works when he plays.... he just completely looses it. Thinking of using K9's triangle of temptation to reinforce the commands, is it a good idea? The only consistent behaviour I can get him to do is around food time, I can get him to sit and wait then I'll say come and he would then come and eat..
Lastly I am having great difficulty in telling him what is bad.. The trick of saying NO then turn around and ignore him doesn't work reliably... he would just go an destroy things anyway or goes and gets a stick to munch on. Is there a way to let him know what is bad when he does a bad thing?
Cheers,
Yots.
