Hi there
For my first puppy (as an adult), we got a black lab, who is now just over 15 weeks old. His name is Skeena, and for the most part, he is pretty awesome. I think he is a smart guy, so I want to do a very good job at training him.
Any ideas/suggestions about how to get him to focus more to "come" when distracted? We are also struggling with "leave it" and "drop it." (Should there even be two commands?) When it is something he reallyreallyreally wants (currently: toilet paper off the roll, the dish rag, slippers...), he won't leave/drop and might run away with the object of his affection.
Suggestions welcomed!
