I have a yo-yo dog too!
Darwin the English ...Hey! I have a yo-yo dog too! <br /><br />Darwin the English Setter PULLS with a single minded purpose with that <i> same</i> behaviour chain you describe: <br /><br />1) sproing out as much leash as possible<br /><br />2) human stops <br /><br />3) think about this a while <br /><br />4) retreat to human <br /><br />5) human walks again because leash is loose<br /><br />6) sproing out again until leash is so taut it's about to snap & human's shoulder is bleeding all over the sidewalk <br /><br />Rinse. Repeat. <br /><br />To make things more fun, in Step 4, do a perfect swing finish & wrap leash around human and/or other dog being walked. <br /><br />I've decided Darwin's problem is that he does not yield to pressure. I think I'm going to work on some of Brenda Aloff's Getting Connected exercises & see if I can convince him to change his mind about pressure. <br /><br />He's also waaay over aroused outside & it's only in the last few months that he will finally take a treat outside so clicker training for loose leash has been a struggle to say the least. <br /><br />Oh yeah - he has no recall either so the leash is mandatory. Fun, fun, fun.hornblowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428146299208610591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37335201.post-57520658448759484222010-05-05T10:26:17.870-07:002010-05-05T10:26:17.870-07:00Oh I hear you!

How hard is it to simply sit for a few seconds? I know, I know, it all stems from his lack of impulse control but still! It is just a sit.<br />I did have to laugh at poor Ryan. I can only clicker train one dog at a time; Toby just gets in the way if I am working with Ty.<br />EErikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092723903070032380noreply@blogger.com
