Our 6yr old and 3 yr old labs are both so reactive to other dogs when walking or even on the porch. Our 6 yr old male is the main one..we've tried it all and only thing we can do is escort him inside the house when on the porch. When walking it's a challenge..hes 112# and we use firm grip and voice to almost force him to sit..it's aggravating as well as embarrassing...we can't afford training..it's expensive..at this age not sure if it's achievable...the 3 yr old female is not as bad but is reactive but we got a better handle on her.. they are around dogs 2/3 x a week in playcare. Any suggestions...
Hi, you definitely can train a dog at any age. Have you tried group, obedience classes. Its training around distractions, so has much more impact than training in isolation, which is not real life. Group classes are not expensive and so worth the investment.
