Hi there, We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever and we are really struggling with him. He’s very headstrong. We’ve had many dogs in the past but never one like this! We got him at 8 weeks and have been training him since day 1. He is trained in 3 to 4 10 to 20 minute sessions every day all throughout the day. He’s smart and learns fast but also has a tendency to ignore us. He is completely out of control outside. He eats everything in his path. Pees and poops inside even though we are crate training him ad take him out every 1 to 2 hours. Not sure how to overcome the obstacles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Jaxson, welcome to the forum I'm sure some wise people will be along soon with suggestions.
