Hello there.
I have the opportunity to take a one year old lab on. Its come from a broken home!! Don't know much about his history - working stock etc , but splendid looking dog. I've been walking him for about a month now, as the couples elderly parents have him. They are far to old to take him out.
This is the thing - he is a real handful. Have I missed the chance to train him?
I can work with him at the moment on small skills - Sit/Stay, but when he goes back to this old couple - I feel he regresses. (There does'nt seem to be any consistency and I don't feel he is attached to me).
If I took him on full time - with concentrated training - do people think I can make this work?
Has anybody had any experience of taking on an older dog (1 year - male).
Thanks.
