The dog that has tasted freedom can't wait to do it again. Now is the time to install the fence you where contemplating or put up a dog run. When none of these options are available, put him on a 50-foot long line and allow him to drag it around so you can exercise him. If he makes an attempt to run off, you should step on the line. This ensures his safety.
Adolescents are unpredictable, undependable, and untrustworthy.
They give no warnings to their erratic behavior. Your adolescent still needs plenty of constructive exercise, but you must keep his safety first in mind. Where possible, hands-on training is completed in partnership with local shelters, using shelter dogs to demonstrate training methods, behavior assessment and handling skills. This enables us to accredit our instructors while contributing to the community, as we help to make these dogs even more adoptable. Terry Ryan is the well-known author of training books such as The Toolbox for Remodeling Your Problem Dog and The Bark Stops Here .
