Thread: Focus?!

Ok that sounds good thanks. We unfortunately started out wrong with him, he was always a pet 1st with hunting etc a possibility so off we marched to obedience armed with a bum bag full of cut up dog roll. He was great at the obedience until you didnt have food or seagulls were around. When I mentioned I wanted to use him for hunting the idea was shot down and was told to work on fancy footwork to getting him heeling properly hmmmm. Didnt take long to leave obedience. Now I have my FAL I would like to use him for what he is bred for as well as having a dog I can take to the park throw a ball or bumper and have him retrieve it with out taking off. Off to the yard we go. Is it best to start again with a short lead beside me or just have him on a longer lead?

Suggest you pm either Kawhia or Ruff. Too many conflicting opinions are going to help not hinder. Good on you for asking for help to make the most of your dog
