DirectorsCut Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi, I'm having trouble with my 9 week old. I am trying to walk him around the garden but he is having none of it. He goes where he wants, and if I try leading him somewhere he just lays down on his side or back. Pulling does nothing, he just lets me drag him, which I obviously don't want to do. Then he starts chewing on the chain lead, so I have to take him in because I'm worried about breaking his teeth. I started off just letting him roam around the garden but he ended up eating blackberries and made himself ill. (I am chopping the blackberry brambles down now) Its mainly for potty training, I am trying to walk him to the spot where he has been before, I want to use this spot as his area. So in conclusion I need to know how to get him to follow me and not laying down, and to stop biting his chain lead! (am I going to have to get a non-chain one?) Thanks in advance!

Michelle Melsom Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would go with a non chain one but a thick one and do not coax your puppy just go! throw a harness on him if you have to I did this with Marius he did not want to walk so I just pulled him along and he started walking with me ^.^ Its my favorite trainers technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_240 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 tempt him to walk by your side with treats, and whenever he is in the position you want and walks like it treat him. when he starts playing up show him the treat let him smell it and lure him with it and keep him walking and reward him after a lap of the garden or two. if he starts pulling etc Just stand still and try get him to sit and when he dose continue to walk this helped with nico.

Michelle Melsom Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Its totally up to you wheather you want to use treats or not my methods of training my dog are completely without treats and it works great. Other people find that treats work for them. Marius does get cookies tho..not for doing anything just as snacks...cuz they are kool o.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectorsCut Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks for the tips, i'll let you know how I get on! I've just had him out but he was a pain again, then he came in, ran upstairs and relieved himself, both ends, on the landing. :mad: I'm sure he does it on purpose...
