GoldD Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Ok so I've had a sooooooo well behaved Golden and all of a sudden he turns 6mo yesterday and he won't come when told, from one room in the house to another, nor will he get off the couch when told. He was fine with all the above a couple of weeks ago and oh my god, what a defiant, uninterested dog. Is this normal? I mean he's not even a teenager yet!!

BC Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yep, sounds normal to me Need to go back to basic training for a while, rewarding with treats etc just to remind him what he is supposed to be doing. You need to make yourself more interesting than anything else, so lots of play times, fun and food when you are commanding him to do something. If you are boring they will lose interest very quickly, especially at this age where they are really starting to get a bit big for their boots :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldD Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thank you BC - will take your advice and whip him back into shape - I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahona Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 ooh Cosmolo, do you do home visits? I think my 4 month old goldie pup is in need of some behaviour modification too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Oh surely not georgous little Diesel?! Ha, it's funny how they turn overnight - Turtle was the same, but getting back to training does help! Cosmolo will definitely help you out - by the way, I will email you Turtle's progress Tamara!

Nicole... Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Our cocker pup officially reached adolescence with a bang about 3 weeks ago now... We've cranked up her training and tightened the reigns a little in terms of where she has access to without our company until she can be trusted again. Here's one of the reasons why... http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l121/mar...nt=MVI_2940.flv Edited March 5, 2008 by mntgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmolo will definitely help you out - by the way, I will email you Turtle's progress Tamara! Sorry, hijacking! Hi newnewf - still waiting for those photos, have I missed them?? Cosmolo has worked her magic once again...he will be the perfect Diesel again in no time. I think, sorry, I know I was given two days to whip him into shape! LOL LOL I'll be seeing him again on Monday so he can show me his tricks!! No tricks, sorry GL. Just maybe a nice doggie.....but he never misbehaved when you are around, just like kids - he makes me a liar. Cosmolo can vouch for me though - she sees the naughty lazy Diesel and gives me the tools to change him back to my angel (still lazy though, nothing changes that!)

GoldD Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Cosmolo - yay, there has been a massive change in him just since you left. He has his slow moments (as you can imagine), Rusty distractions don't help, but he really has made a massive improvement in a short time. Thank you. The floorboards have been great!! :rolleyes: Until next time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
