Dominant Dog
Ok, I took my girl to her first lesson yesterday. The trainer litterally laughed at me, saying we would have fun because I have a dominant dog so training will be a 'bit' more of a challenge. She did VERY well in class but I've been working with her on a daily basis.
What exactly am I up against? This dog made an 80lb lab mix boy roll on his back and piddle.... Not to mention that I'm having one hell of a time with her and one of my kids that thinks is HILLARIOUS to have her on the floor rough housing but them screams in terror when the dog doesn't want to stop and she does. This nets the girl AND the dog both a time out, one in the corner, one in the crate. It's easier to make the dog stop than the girl.
I get her to sit when I say sit, and she will lay down when I say lay down but where I run into issue, is trying to get her to 'heel'. She wants to pull.
ANYONE out there with a dominant dog have any suggestions/experiences?
TIA!~
