So, as the title states, I'm at a loss of how to start my Ted on basic obedience training. :dontknow:
He's a 2 year old mini poodle rescue from North Shore Animal League. From what I understood, his owner was an elderly man, so I'm not sure if basic training was taught, but Ted is a very friendly dog.
So far, I've introduced him to 'sit', and he does it well 75% of the time if I have a treat or if I tell him to (and he's willing to listen). I want to try clicker training, but I'm scared that he'll pretend to not hear me or ignore me, as he does sometimes.
Also, Ted seems to get bored easily, and looses concentration.
Any pointers on basic training a 2 year poodle, that gets bored easily, and used to belong (as my teacher said) to an 'old fart'? :confusffed:
