My issue is that he is 2 years old so he is really not a pupy so we are starting this late. He still acts like one but he is becoming more and more dominant with strangers. I want to add tugging as an exercise and lately I started taking a different approach and he ripped the spring pole in half so I figured he is getting into it. I think now that he is getting older he is gaining more confidence and it is easier to get him to do it. he outs very nicely but I am not working on that right because he is so obedient I just want him to get obssessed with it.
