Just looking for some thoughts. Yukon is a 15 month old neutered male. He has been in
training since he was 5 months old. He attends "school" three days a week with a
formal training class with Mom each week. He is on a prong collar which is never
needed for any corrections. He is an angel. However, I need some advice on what I
call the "hoover" syndrome. Recently, I have started longer evening walks and Yukon
will not take his nose off the ground. Unless I continuously feed while we walk I
cannot keep his attention (or his head up). He will walk into things if I let him! I
do not correct him as he responds to all commands with no issues. He is not doing
anything wrong but he is obsessed. I am looking for ways to distract him from the
ground. He will be taking the CGC and if it is outdoors I fear I am fighting quite an
uphill battle. Any thoughts?
