Spurred on by Prince learning to properly play fetch recently I decided to see what else we could teach him. He is about 5 so not old just older
I got a book on training deaf dogs from DTI (he is hard of hearing although I dont think he is totally deaf). We worked on 'sit' last night, very repetitive and plenty of little treats to reward. Success level was moderate but we'll keep it up and see how he goes. He did sit every time but we sort of had to help him and then treat and repeat Glen got him to do it a couple of times with no treat, just praise and cuddles.
If anyone has any tips or advice on training an older dog, I would love to hear them. Hopefully we will be able to sign them both up for proper training classes soon enough.
