Need some help


Recommended Posts

I have an 11 week old female lab. She gets very hyper when I want to work with on sit, stay, come. She loves to play fetch and will play for hours if I could. We play for about 20 min. a day. When she is calm she does a pretty good job with sit but needs some work with stay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would just keep up the hard work you are putting in. Keep in mind that she is not 3 months old yet. Obedience training takes time. Sit, stay, heal will take a few months before they are completely mastered and you feel confident that she knows exactly what you are saying to her.
If she is that wound up maybe try and take some of that [PoorWordUsage] & vinegar out of her first. You stated that she would retrieve all day, do that 1st then try some of the odedience work.
Be patient and keep plugging along she will come around.

GOOD LUCK

Hi there. When I got my choc lab at 13 weeks I was all ready to start in obediance but my trainer was a firm believer not to work any obediance at all until the puppy teeth came out. His thoughts were to let a pup be a pup and just let them have fun retrieving birds and dummies. Once the puppy teeth started coming out we started the sit, stay & heel stuff. It didn't take him long to get the hang of things and at 17 months is a spazzy terror when working birds and dummies but will sit on command from any distance and stay until I release him.
Just give your dog time and things will work out. For now, keep things fun and they willalways be fun for both you and your hunting partner. Have a good one.

I think the key to Sit, Heel, Stay, Come is repitition. Spend 10 minutes a day every day, maybe 2-3 times a day on the weekend, before you know it, you'll have a dog that will stay.

My female lab pup is the same age as yours and at this point we've probably marched around the truck and tractor in my shed 40 times in the last week on the leash, doing Heel, Sit, starting on Stay, whistle is next, I do Sit about 6 different times, then its off the leash to go play, terrorize the old yellow dog, drag a piece of wood around, attack the beer carton, learn that you can't chew on shoe laces, lets play some retrieve the dummy, oh its off to run around the truck... You get the idea, life is fun right now, but shes learning to be a good citizen, keep the sessions short. When it warms up outside, we'll be marching around the house and trees on the leash, by the end of summer she'll have Sit, Heel, Stay down pat. Good luck.

20 minutes maybe too long at this young age. She will let you know when its time to stop with the training. Always follow up a training session with some play. Instead of doing one 20 minute session, try 3 5 minute sessions and see what happens.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
