My puppy is almost 6 months, and one big thing I’m trying to work on is getting him to snap out of it when he sees other dogs or people(he locks in on them and totally ignores the commands I give even with a treat in my hand-by locking in I mean staring and trying to get to them) by him doing this he has no means to be aggressive he wants to go and say hi, this may be my fault because during his socialization as a puppy I wanted him to meet as many people and dogs as he could.Now when I take him for walks I want him to learn he cannot meet everyone we see.
I try pulling on his collar telling him leave it and walking the opposite direction, as I said he totally ignores me and him being almost 80 pounds it’s becoming a hard task. If I put my body in front of him to try and block what he is looking at it’s like he gets mad and tries nipping at my legs or jumping on me. I will be using a prong collar as soon as he hits 6 months and hopefully this tool will help him pay attention and refocus on me.
Any other advice/tips is greatly appreciated, thank you.
