[QUOTE="witzend, post: 153339, member: 99"] I would check the humane society, or a dog rescue organization. An older dog will be trained to some extent. I'm glad you are able to "try them out". Goodness knows what your husband was thinking! We got Mandy about 10 months ago. She was still a puppy, but looked full grown. She had some training but needed a lot more. We recently learned that she likes the frisbee. It's such a simple thing to use to train her to sit and obey. Make her sit before you throw the frisbee. Associate sitting with a reward. So what does husband do? Hold the frisbee above his head, jerking it upward every time Mandy jumps. "husband, make her sit." "Oh, yeah. Sit Mandy". Mandy sits. Five minutes later, it's the exact same thing. "Make her sit." "Oh, yeah." Why can't they figure out that if it works you should keep doing it? [/QUOTE]
