So, my Baloo is 6 months old now. (Ish). I haven't done a whole lot of training with him...just the basics. "Sit", "down", "come", "kennel", "get down", "not yet", and he has pretty good recall.
But recently, it's just been hard doing training sessions with him.
I'm posting this because today was just a bit much. He has max zoomies. Anytime he is in the house, he is zip-zip-zoom all over the place. That was usually manageable and he focused on his food somewhat...but not very much anymore. I don't even have to have the treat and he is running to one end of the house, coming back, barking at the cat, jumping on me, spinning in circles....and today's training session got to be too much because he seemingly forgot sit...I would tell him sit, and he would lay down. He did that repetitively before I just threw in the towel because I was getting frustrated.
Any advice on how to calm his zoomies? I've tried a little exercise before the sessions, but I don't want to overwork him.
And any idea on how to fix this sit problem? Now whenever I tell him sit he throws himself on the ground...lol.
Thanks for all advice.
