Obedience Training – Initiation Phase

Okay so we have progressed on training but I am still having loads of problems with obedience and I really need to see some results.

They both sleep outside in their own kennel every night which took 2 weeks of them fighting to get in to the door during the night. It was quite an accomplishment. They are happy and they now have their own space.

Rusty doesnt mark the house anymore and they go outside when they need to go..

The part I am still struggling with is walking them.  Chloe is absolutely crazy and hyperactive the entire walk and rusty reacts based on that. Although he is better at the walking than she is he still pulls at the lead a lot.

I have called a few places and I am going to start one on one obedience training on monday. I have decided since Chloe is the worst of the two that I will be taking her.

Besides focusing on the walking I would also like to learn how to teach them when I move to the UK to beable to hold out for me to come home and that they do not think the inside of the house is a bathroom. Over here they can stay outside during the day but in the UK it is to cold to leave them outside.

I also would like to learn how to get them to stop jumping on me and visitors but I am sure I will get to learn all of it.

And lastly that they dont bark at other dogs.

Monday is the first class and I am very excited about it.
