Hey ,
Just a quick question about a dog I recently adopted.
I have had my own dog for a year and every aspect of him is perfect I did alot of work with him when i first got him and it's really paid off.
This new dog I Just adopted Rottie X GSD is completely different.
She was living outside for a year!!!!! She is well behaved in the house I have trained her the basics so far but her recall is awful when we are out, just now I have had to chase her down the streets as she escaped from the local park we take them too for their walks.
I am thinking maybe getting a long line and training recall that way?
Other problem being we have two cats and all though at first it went well NOW there are problems with her lunging for them and chasing them. Trying to introduce them slowly treating them in each others company praising when she ignores the cats etc
I know dog training takes a long time and you have to be patient I would just love some more advice on whether this can be resolved or whether I am going to need to rehome to her someone with no cats all though I think this girls had enough moving and messing around I only want whats best for her.
