Nova is now 14 weeks. (CC)
She’s been super good with training, has learned all the basics, waits for her food until she gets the go ahead and has dramatically reduced her nipping.
Her recall is pretty good too considering her age, and she’s used to other dogs and people and with the occasional jumping up has good etiquette.
In the last two days though, it’s like she’s literally forgotten everything I have taught her (the only time she really listens and looks at me is when I make her work for her food at mealtime)
She will not even look at me. Ive raised my voice, I’ve tried to keep calm, I’ve tried to bribe her with treats and nothing works, it’s literally like she does not give a s*it. It’s getting super frustrating.
We’ve tried to take her out twice today, we had to turn back before even getting to the park, at the same point as she would not listen AT ALL before crossing a busy road which we won’t tolerate. She wouldn’t even sit! And stay. That’s not been a problem for weeks now.
Really not sure how to tackle this.
She can get on the couch herself now, and we always take her off if she jumps up herself. The only thing I can think of is that we’ve eased on rewarding good behaviour in the house because she just seemed to get it so we concentrated on rewarding good behaviour outside.
We reward in the house with toys and playtime... and the couch etc.
Any ideas? It is literally like she doesn’t care and is being a bratty teenager, it is so frustrating!
