couchP56 questioned: We are at our wits end. We have a four year ancient
Boston Terrier that refuses to learn anything. We have worked with him four the entire four years that we have had him (since he was 8 weeks ancient).
He is is house broke but the problem we are having with him is he has no attention span.
It is very hard to take him for walks because he is always trying to take off from one of us to chase something even though he is on a choke chain.
If we take him outside to go to the bathroom, he just stands there looking around.
He wants to go for a walk everytime he goes out the door. I should mention that I am handicapped and use a cane so it is hard for me to walk him sometimes.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to cool this dog down so he is simpler to handle?
I want to add that our dog has been in dog obedience training twice. It’s his attention span or lack of that we are having a problem with. If he was human he would be diagnosed with ADD. We have never had this problem before with any other dog. We have never told him he was a terrible dog for anything. He was house broke in three weeks after we got him. I reckon some of misunderstanding our problem
Since he has been through training twice we are wondering what is incorrect with him. We know he can hear he is just stubborn, and he has a low attention span or none at all.
Because of this we are wondering if he can be trained?
