At times I've thought about what would it be like to have Cesar come over and help or provide insight to my two year old golden labradoodle (It's a cross between Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, and Standard poodle). I've raised over fifty dogs, and have been able to train them all, but this one... Well, the manager at the local Pet Smart called him Marley Jr. if that tells you anything.
In order to tire him out, I'd have to walk him for two hours, at a fast pace, half running, half brisk walking. Then he'd crash for about fifteen minutes, and the slightest disturbance would set him off. He'll race around, jump in the air, latch onto objects or people, and when people come over, it's worse. It's also hard to walk him because the slightest distraction sets him off.
He knows basic commands, sit, lay down, and he's learning stay and come, but he has a major lack of attention span. However, I've been using different approaches to training him, trying out new techniques, and little by little it's working. Still, his attention span and hyperactivity, particularly around other dogs and people, is highly annoying.
If Cesar didn't charge for his services, and if I knew the rumors of him weren't true, (I heard some bad things about him, but can't say whether or not they are true), I'd be glad to ask him to help with my pup. My wolf-hybrid so far is the only one who can keep the pup under control, simply by producing a loud snapping bark with a snarl mixed in.
I know that right now he needs to run, and we have the yard for it. But we don't have the yard fenced in. I plan on trying out the Pet Safe Wireless fence since I've heard so many good things about it, and when I can afford it. I'm jobless right now so other than refunds from my college, money is pretty tight.
Still, at times I wonder if Cesar could handle this pup..

I really could have used Cesar about three years ago I owned an Old English Sheepdog.The dog ,I couldn't walk him on a leash.He hated stragers and went out of control when he saw them.He was very stubborn and I lost control of him.He weighed over 100 lbs.The dog's name was Barney.He was terribly behaved.Once he was outside he would start running around ignoring me and I couldn't get him back in the house,which was very bad.I was afraid of getting a fine because he ran the neighborhood and didn't take to strangers.I had to give him to the ASPA.They said they would give him to someone experienced with the breed.I definately think Cesar would have been a great help.I was all depressed about the dog because he was lovable ,he just needed alot of training.He listened to me in the beginning and allof a sudden he became stubborn.Now I have a Lhasa Apso,if he refused to come in the house I would pick him up and carry him in.

Sometimes having a dog is hard because with the stubborn ones you really have to step up your game and become the boss, and prove it. I still have trouble with Shadow Jr, but a trip to the vet helped me find out what was wrong with him, which was easily remedied with medication.
I also got the wireless, and have been training both dogs with it. I only allow both to run freely in the yard when the neighbor's dogs are inside their house as I do not want to chance a confrontation.
However, I have to say, it's a bad decision to pick up your Lhasa Apso to get him to go into the house. Have you tried using a different method, such as a new leash and a tempting treat or toy?
