he is doing fine and acceptable on the commands I give him until any dog or cat or people (espescially when they are jogging) pass by.
I would train "watch me." (Tell us if you are not familiar with it.)
Then I would take the commands on which he is 100% solid without distraction and start by changing venue, say. (A dog will often be trained to perceive that "sit" means "sit when we are in the living room in that spot." ) Also, changing venue is a nice slow way to start distractions (a new place being a mild distraction in itself).
Then I would sloooowly add other distractions. Maybe someone can watch from the next room. Maybe on the porch, someone can be within eyesight in the yard and rake. Maybe you have a neutral dog friend to walk by quietly. A child can stand nearby. Later two kids might play nearby. You might have someone make a noise (clap, whistle).
Later you might work near a playground or at the edge of a parking lot.
You see where I'm going .....
Nothing is trained until it's proofed.
The situation is, when he was 6~10 months old, he seemed response
and focus on me better,after he turned 11 months old, he started acting like a teenager, he started choose the command he wants to follow, I mean, he is really like a teenager now~
Your advice is really good and useful, I actually tried this on him when he was younger, I think I did not really train him solid enough from the begining.
This is the part I hate myself about.
I recently(two weeks ago) had serious asthma attack to a point that I was sent to the ER.
The SCH club is in an open field and my wife does not think it would be a good idea if I play with my dog in a cold and windy field with my asthma condition.
That is when the canine good citizen idea poped up in our mind.
At least we will not waste too much time before my condition turns more stable.
I brought my pup into the Sch club last Sunday to do the evaluation since the weather was not that bad.
My pup did not response to the prey rag from the trainer,he was just kept on looking at my wife and I until the trainer pulled out a ball with string.
He started chasing the ball while the trainer moved the ball and would not release the ball once he grabbed on it with his mouth.
The trainer told us that our pup is trainable but needs more time to build up the drive.
We were happy that at least our pup is trainable(he is a showline pup).
We also enrolled him to the CGC course in petsmart,so if my condition is not well at least I can take him to petsmart to be trained with him.
Hopefully we made a right decision.
