As some of you know at the weekend i made liver cakes for Toby, he is doing very well with his training but when i take my son to school Toby gets very excited, he loves children, ive tried giving him treats including the liver cakes he loves them and i thought he might be more tempted but it didnt work he isnt interested, the only thing that seems to work is telling him to sit and wait when any children come to stroke him, bless him he does as he is told but when they stroke him he wants to play and i have to watch he does not jump at them,
Toby is 10 months now, am i doing the right thing he is improving but slowly, any suggestions would be appreciated

Age .....sounds to me like Toby is getting into adolescence or the 'Kevin' stage ;) :D Just keep at it and keep on top of him gently and he WILL eventually listen and learn :)

Thankyou melodysk,
just needed some reasurance that i am doing the right thing, by the way how long does the kevin stage last,

It depends on the breed generally ..Hudson (Malamute) began his at about 10 months and became a lovely boy at about 18 months ;) He still has moments now but nothing like the defiance of a year ago :D :D

this is going to be fun, i have a teenage daughter 15 yrs old this month and going through the kevin stage, and now my dog is going through it, and my 10 yr old is going through that stage of seeing how far he can push me till i explode, good job i have plenty of plonk left over from christmas, :D :D :D
Heidi

Good luck :D :D

(my youngest daughter is 13 and youngest son is 10 so I sympathise :D )

suppose i should be use to it by now, i have two older children and two grandsons 2/3, the 3yr old has just got out of that terrible two stage and now the other one is going through it, but at least they go home to mum, :) ;)

Snap again ..I have 3 older children and two and a half Grandchildren :D Ellie and Ben are both 3 years old and Ben is getting a new brother or sister next month ;)

Melody :D

ahh how nice for you all, my older daughter said shes had enough for the moment which is a relief for me as i do have them quite regular, dont mind but its nice when they go home :D
