My delightful and wonderful dog has to be the stupidest most bloody minded animal on the planet.
I have been working very hard to get the little darling to walk nicely on the lead - with lots and lots of good advice from the wonderful people in dogs.
If you remember I posted about him being very very strong to the point of choking himself, launching himself at anything, dog, horse, sheep, people etc etc.
Basically he has NO respect for me or the lead. He is now in a slip lead (more money) and has proceeded to try and choke himself in this also. I keep it right behind his ears and him to my heel. He is ok but not brilliant, however if he see's something more interesting he launches at it (crisp packet today). He did a back flip trying to get the crisp packet after I had continued to walk forwards and 'checked' him and said firmly 'LEAVE'. Cue lots of scrabbling, whining and spinning. Its even worse with a dog.
I have tried taking treats when we are out but he wont eat them, too excited.
He is also deaf by selection and his bee-lines caused me to fall on my ar*se this morning and use some very un-lady like language.
He just waggs his tail at me and looks at me like 'Whats your problem??'
He is only 1, he gets walked everyday for 2-5 miles at least and he still has his furry plums.
I have told my OH who actually OWNS this little t*rd that if he does not get him booked in next week for nuts of I will be doing them both with a pair of house bricks
And no, OH does sod all with him, I do it all
Ehem, any advice please, it's too early for a G&T.
