I have an 8 month old black dobe, So far training has been up an down with mostly positive results. basic stuff sit stay come, lay down. no prob.
I'm having a bit of a prob with him pulling,,so much in fact that he has pulled the lead out of my hand,,an when it retracts , hits him in the rear quarters he thinks I hit him an bolts off,,,I have had to chase him through down town traffic while he is crying cause he thinks he is getting beat.
I really don't want to get a prong collar,, any other suggestions ?
I have been trying to start bite training but he does not seem to have much interest in pulling on ropes or bite pads, any way to bring his confidence or drive back?
He is not shy,,very territorial of our house and yard,,gets along with people and other dogs when he is OFF leash. seems to hate other animals when on his leash.
Thx guys.
favorite toy....the cat.
