So this morning I had an incident that almost resulted in a car accident and possible the death of my puppy - yikes.
I need to teach my pup to stay off the roads unless I say its okay - is that just a matter of putting him into a sit and waiting for an "okay" to cross the street? He tries to leap out onto the street to investigate if he so much as sees a rock on the street - and normally I'm holding on tight enough that he can't do it but this morning he caught me off guard...and holding on tight can't be the long-term solution, he needs to stop trying to get onto the street.
So if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks in advance.
Does your puppy have a "wait" command that you use when you open a door or gate and expect him to wait for a release before running out?
I stop before all road or street crossings and give a "wait" to my dogs. I can walk ahead, onto the street and they'll stay put at the curb. I can even pull on the leashes to try and "trick" them into stepping into the street, but they'll both resist until I give them the release.
They don't do it automatically yet, but my guess is that eventually they will if I stay consistent with this. You could try the same thing with your pup, good luck
(I don't know how much I would trust a hound's off-leash control though, regardless of how much training it's been through )
Jenga is only 13 weeks old, and I've only had him for 2 weeks, which is why he doesn't have a very high level of training - we're just getting started. Good to have some direction though.
