I’m currently training my lab, that is about 9-10 months old. I’ve previously trained one other lab and he picked up on it really quick. However this puppy has 3 main issues that I’ve seen so far that I’d like to get straightened out before continuing with training. 1: He responds very well to the whistle sit command when he’s close however when I walk away, call and blow the whistle he will continue running until he’s about 10 feet in front of me then sit, which tells me he understands the command but just isn’t complying. 2: when heeling on a leash or pinch collar he does great. Once I get him in position he’s spot on. He wont come into position though if he’s say sitting in front of me. How can I help him get into position no matter where I am in relationship to him? 3: his drive to fetch is the lowest I’ve seen in a dog. I can coax him to fetch with peanut butter on a ball but that’s about it. I’m a big believer in a shock collar and force fetching but not this early on. What can I do to fix this?
