We have recently taken on a 1 year old Chocolate Lab called Revel, Milly our 3 year old Chocolate is very placid and submissive, normally very good and sticks to the rules. For a few weeks Milly had been great showing Revel how to behave now she's breaking all the rules, going on the garden beds, going upstairs & eating plants. Something she's never done before, any suggestions would be appreciated as to why??
Re: Older dog being naughty Regression we have a touch of that going on here my lovely well behaved Chihuahua has destroyed a cushion this morning - never even did that when she was a puppy so now at 2 it's very much copying and regressing. Back to basics and reteach I believe is only way forward, we have had it before with previous pals.
Re: Older dog being naughty Just wanted to say Hi and welcome to the forum Unfortunately I can't help as Harley (16 month old fox red lab) is my first ever dog
Re: Older dog being naughty Thank you Naya, the site has a great deal of advice on offer and looking forward to reading through old posts. Have started additional training with Revel so hopefully Milly will follow suit, I always believe that training is an on-going thing anyway.
Re: Older dog being naughty Hi CJ welcome to the forum....interesting reading your post ,Dexter is our first dog and we are a single dog household so I haven't got any advice for you.i know from dexter playing with other dogs though how they can pick up bad habits .....and it's definately right,dogs don't stay trained. Hope it's just a 'phase' you sound like you are onto it and Milly sounds like training Bootcamp is awaiting her ;D
