| Training a 5 year old...Never to late? To jump in, I have a wonderful Yorkie named Lola who brings us nothing but joy. You can easily call me a bad mommy as I never did any obedience training with her as a puppy. Now, it really is becoming a small problem. We want to travel with her in the car for road trips and eventually by air. Is it possible to make her more accustomed to travel? Every time we walk her on a leash she screams, and bites the leash and goes bananas. Its crazy to watch. Does anyone have any tips on what we can do to try and break these habits? Thanks in advance! |

It is never too late!! I would suggest you take her to a dog obedience class. Start with the beginner levels.

| It is never to late..dogs live in the now. Classes are a great idea you also need to get her used to the leash I would suggest putting it on her in the house and let her just walk around with it on( but always watch her you do not want it getting caught on anything). As far as the car goes I would start with just sitting in the car coax her with treats when she seems fine with this move on to the next thing remember baby steps and just like potty training be consistant. Good Luck |
