I have a standard poodle who is 3.5 years old.
He is not neutered and a male.
His name is Sterling Silver.
I got him second hand from an area of woodland with large properties and few neighbours. Instead of walks the old owners let him run free on their grassland acreage.
Ok! then I got him and he was not really trained at all so I have tried to do some of that myself. Can't afford a trainer. He is doing ok and improving but I still have one fairly big problem. He used to hate anything with small wheels like baby buggies, small bikes, inline skates and mostly hates skate boards. Now he just tolerates inline skates but still wants to go after the skate boarders.
I live in a small city and here there are small parks and walkways. I like to take him for short walks of about 1.5 km three times a day or more if I have time.
I am 73 and retired and in fairly good shape for my age but when I get on a narrow path with my dog and skateboards, I have a very hard time keeping my dog from these kids.
So far he has not any tendency to bite but I never am sure about it.
I would like to hear any suggestions you may have.
Thanks.
