Hi!
As you know, I'm about to adopt a 5 yr old Aussie. He's pretty well trained....how
ever.....he's very large in comparison to me (he weighs 70 lbs & I weigh 100 soaking wet).....
When he recently visited I saw a potential problem (although he's very well behaved in every other respect).
He tried to go tearing out the front door the minute I opened it. He did not listen to my commands or respond to the leash pull.
My question is this...how do I stop this once he has moved in permanently?? Seriously, I could barely keep him from running out or bowling me over. He's significantly stronger than me.
No, it doesn't mean I won't adopt him, it just means I need some advice as to how to train him NOT to do that.
