dh90 6 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 My pup is now 6 month old as was doing well with training, recall etc. but the last few days he seems to have started completely ignoring me when i call him back, or he runs straight past me. what is the best thing to do, should i keep him on the lead for a while or just carry on letting him off. (doesnt seem right if i cant get him back in a hurry) he doesnt run away usually stays close but just wont come back. i always carry and use treats but he just doesnt want to know. any advice is appreciated.

He is entering the adolescent stage where all the training seems to go out of the window, start afresh wth the recall training, don't lose hope, all pups go through it, it can be frustrating but in a few month he will be back to the pup you had before!

Remember how you were as a teenager! I was perfect but pleased most pups do it however frustrating, thought he was goin to be headstrong and completely ignore me all the time. So how long does the adolescent stage last? Quote Link to post

Haha and so was i No honestly every pup goes through it at some stage, just keep up the training and you should gt back to normality around the 9-12 month stage, keep up the effort and he will pay you back ten fold. :thumbs: Quote Link to post
