...the one with the stubborn, bossy pit. And that's not only my opinion, I talked with some dog trainers and they share my opinion. Plus, pits are famous for being stubborn right?
Anyway...T-Bone is a lovely sweet dog...but she does not listen. Well, she partially listens...She listens when she knows that I have a treat in my hand, but that's it. And that is in the house.
I take her out to the park or the beach pretty much every day and do some training with her there, too, with distractions around. So if we are there I could wave a steak in front of her nose, she could not care less. I tried all kinds of voices, she does not even give me a 2 second look. I tried to turn her head towards me by holding a treat in front of her nose and bringing it up to my face so she would turn around and look at me- nada. I literally hold a treat in front of her nose, but her eyes are locked on whatever she sees.
Any ideas how I can get her attention and I can get her to listen to her name in that situation?
Thank you all so much!
