Hello,
I have another puppy question about my 8wk old aussie... I am trying to teach him to follow me on the lead but am running into some difficulties. Sometimes he does great and follows me everywhere with only just a little coaxing. Other times, I can even get him out of his pen in the garage to go out to the yard to use the bathroom. He will just sit/ lay there and stare at me no matter how much i call him. I have also tried treats(which he hasn't really started liking those much yet). It seems like once he decides that he wants to go one direction, he refuses to go anywhere but there and will either sit there and stare at me or cry while pulling on the leash towards where he wants to go. Sometimes he will even grab onto the leash and try to play "tug-o-war" to get me to go where he wants to go (everytime he does this I try not to encourage it). Is he just being stubborn or am I doing something wrong? Any words of advice would be awesome!
Thanks!
Katie
