dockrat Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 hi all i have been looking in on this site for a while now. so its time i joined . i have a 14 month old cocker dog when on his own is preety good but stood in the line up at training he is a bit of a pest wont walk to heel of the leed tryes to play with other dogs. wont sit by my side of leed . started whinging and whineing now .but out on his own none of the above .i think he still has a lot of puppy still in him and i hope he grows out of it . but the whineing when he is made to sit for awhile gets on my nervs and it might set the other dogs of what can i do to stop him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hello demand he dose as he is told & get the message across to him your the boss dog's can learn quick.He's no pup now unless you treat him like 1 let them know what you want/expect of there behavour & they grow up.As for making a noise tell him quiet & if he carry's on i give my dog's a light smack on the bridge of the nose within second's of the noise.Your lead hand loop will do for this or heel work to keep his nose back but it get the message through.

new to the flock Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 dockrat, Did you do his training by himself in quiet areas? Have you ever worked him on lead amongst other dogs? When he is whinning is he aware that he is doing it....some have no idea....? NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTF hi nttf he whines when at training stood in a line whith the other dogs if another dog is working out in front of him while he he waiting for his turn. his heel work is good off leed on his own but put in the situation in a line and he wants to play will not sit still keeps making a run to the nearest dog or rolling about on the floor other than that he is good on his own.

new to the flock Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 DockRat, It sounds to me that he needs to work more on lead around other dogs with appropriate corrections when he is trying to creep forward or gets out of his sit. Give a pop when he breaks position, reposition, praise, repeat. As far as the whinning goes ignore him when he is whinning and praise him when he is silent. try this for a couple of weeks if there is no improvement let me know and I will give you something else to try. Sorry for the delay in answering I mised your response. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
