Willow is my 5mnth old puppy, she listens really well at home and on leash. I can get her to sit, stay, walk in a circle around me, go lay down, drop it ect. Doesnt bite, rarely jumps. So I decided to start off leash walking.
Shes never been much for treats so its a bit difficult. She stays close most of the time but if she sees a dog shes really interested in she bolts and all listening ceases to exsist. The treats dont work, dog whistle doesnt work, walking away mildley works.
I have been noticing a change in her behavior since she turned 5mnths where if shes to excited all training stops.
Should I try anything off leash to get her to listen or just keep going during this bratty stage?
I just dont want to make anyone angry at the dog park even if shes super friendly.
She gets fixed at the end of the month.
