Here I am again . This time I would like to ask you some things about training. I am thinking that is time to learn some things to this little devil (probably 2,5 months old Great Pyrenees or Golden Retrevier see here http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1646 if you want to decide by yourself) but I don’t know what and how. So, I would be pleased if anyone could suggest me a site with good training tutorials. I search a little the web but the tutorials I founded assumed that you are having the dog indoors and he he is alone without having contact with other animals, canine or not. In mine case the things are different.
1. The dog is living outdoors and he has more than 600 square meters (even if he uses less) to run and play.
2. Although there isn’t other dog to play with he has a bunch of cats (6 to be more precise) to play, at least as he thinks because they probably think that some times he torture them.
As you can understand the dog can run and play whenever he want it and as long as he want. The tutorial that I have founded assumes that the dogs feel restrained and need attention and if you give it the through training you will have results. In my case the dogs already has that so what I can do? He doesn’t get crazy if I pet it because he had the cats to play with. He doesn’t care if I get mad with him because I cannot provide him something that he already doesn’t have (except food). That’s why I am asking for you to suggest me any tutorial that considers this 2 parameters. Also I don’t care to learn my dog how to behave in house, because he never enter it, but I want to learn him not to destroy every flower or search in the garbage.
Today was the first day I put leash on him. At the start get really mad and try either to pull it with his teethes either to get away. I tried to do what he wants, at the beginning, until he acclimatized. Afterwards we went for a little walk. I noticed that he whiny even if all the pressure (while he pulling to get away) from the collar was on his scruff and not at his neck. The most time I do exactly the opposite that he did. When we stopped 15 minutes letter and kneel to pet him he licked my hand. Why did that? He hadn’t done that again.
