Hiya all
I need some advice!!
I have a year old cav called Rex. He is adorable and so loving but we have 2 problems with him. Firstly. He wont walk on a lead or a harness. I take him out and he pulls so much which is why I switched to a harness as he was making himself sick on the collar and lead. Anyway, I walk him on his harness and he gets so excited every time. Will this wear off? Every day for a year and its like the first time I have taken him out????
My second is that when we are at home (and at my mums who has 2 girl dogs and a girl cat) he is perfectly house trained but when I go to my sisters (she has 2 dogs and 1 girl dog) and he is 'marking his territory' on EVERYTHING!! She also has a 5 month old baby so this is not good so he spends his time in his cage with lots of walks which I hate as he spends most evenings at home warming me up!! so have stopped going to see her therefore dont see my niece as often as I would like. Is there any way I can stop this. He has not been done as hubby thinks he will get nasty (a previous experience).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sal
P.S. he has not been to classes as there none near me as I have no car so trying to find one within walking distance but no luck so far.
