You d
I meant walking in general. We tend to take him to different places on these walks most days. He goes to daycare 3 times a week, he visits fields,...
Thank you Michael, I think that’s very constructive advice that you’ve given me and I will definitely try this
But he has 2 walks a day, lots of play, some kong puzzles which we put some of his food in and basic training every day so we are “meeting his...
Thanks, I will keep completely ignoring when he does this (I have been doing this but possibly need to keep going for longer).
We have a beautiful lab who is perfect in every way apart from when we have to discipline him! If we stop playing with him or have to take...
