Well its been the same routine for neeko and I. Im still practicing the stuff I learned in my first beginners class. He knows all sits and downs im trying to add distractions and need to start training in new locations.
As far as him pulling me down the road I figured out the times hes really pulling is because he wants to run. And we do its hard to keep up with him sometimes he wants to go so fast. Im the only one who walks him in my house I dont think anyone else could hold on to him. He has gotten alot stronger scince I first got him from the rescue.
The guy next store has a husky never takes her for a walk and leaves her tied out all day when hes gone to work. Usally from 5am to late at night. She will be out their in the pouring rain getting soaked all day. She cries for most of the day when shes out their.
Then their another guy down the street who keeps his dog kenneled outside 24/7 says outside dogs dont need to go on walks. And that I sure walk my dog alot. I just feel bad for these dogs I wish they had better owners.
Then their is the lady on the other side who lets her two dogs out loose and if neeko and I go past when their out they will charge us and follow us down the road. Just another hassel because this gets neeko crazy.
well ill keep training but wish my next class would have a start date

Hi, again,
Its so hard to watch what happens to Sibes when they are misunderstood -- I'm sure that the guy next door found that if he kept her inside, she pretty much tore the house apart looking for something to do all day, so that's why she's outdoors! I'm not saying it's okay in the least -- but Sibes need mental exercise just as much as they need physical exercise. Sibes are one of the most often owner-turned-in dogs to rescue, because its difficult at best to keep them mentally stimulated while keeping your sanity! (grin)
That said - More exercise -- both mental and physical -- will help you bond with your Sibe, and help her pay more attention to you. Play clicker games with her -- there's tons available on this site. 101 things with a box for example, or start teaching her to target your hand -- that will come in really handy when you are out and about.
Oh, and thank your lucky stars that you have a food-motivated Sibe -- they are few and far between!
Sincerely,
Jo Jacques, CPDT, CPCT
