Training 6 month Cockapoo - advice
I have a 6 month cockapoo. He is so intelligent, that’s for sure. He is great with picking up new tricks and is a huge foodie which helps!
Since he turned 6 months he is more of a terror than ever. He has now started to not listen on his terms. He loves to steal things, I mean everything and anything and now he is bigger he can reach higher places too. The problem is when he gets these items he stands there waiting for you to approach to run off and he will keep coming back to show you as this is the ultimate game for him. He loves to be chased. If I don’t try and get it off him he will sit and destroy whatever it is (unless it’s socks, he likes them). It doesn’t matter if I say leave it, drop it etc etc. once the game starts I have to try and think smarter and trick him into paying attention to something else (throwing treats into the grass in the garden works at the moment)
Any advice on preventing this? It’s funny and he looks cute but when he’s done it 10 times in one day it gets a bit repetitive 🤣
He is the best tho!
