| Re: Won't stop playing!!
(I apologize, I hit the enter button too soon)
We'll play out there for a while, and then Bella will come out then THEY start to play. As far as training, I constantly reinforce the basics: Down, Sit, Get it, Bring it, Drop it, Leave it, Stay, Stand, Off, Out, Jump, Heel, Go Around, Quiet, Push, Move, Turn Around, In (for the tub) and "If I have to get up, it will be ugly" (lol). I think that's all he knows. I've been trying to make him 'work' by dragging some old branches to the front of the yard. He picked it up pretty quickly but I haven't been consistent with it at all. I'm thinking he needs a job, he does like to work but it's pretty obvious that I have to work on OUR attention span.
So more actual walks it is! Any suggestions on how to encourage him to stop playing? It's like he can't even hear me so I can't even lure him with food. Although maybe if he isn't so starved for activity it won't be so difficult to reign him in. I probably answered my own question.
Thank you so much for your response.  |
