Dogs & Dog Training
Keeping a Rock Headed Lab in the yard.

I am hoping maybe somebody would have a few suggestions to help with a few problems we are having with an almost 3 yr old neutered male lab we kind of inherited. It was my son's dog that he got as a puppy when he was working out in North Dakota. When he got the dog he was working so much that the dog did not get a whole lot of training its first 1 1/2 yrs of his life. Well now my son got a job back here and is out of town working most of the time so guess who ends up with the dog?? The dog pretty much listens to basic commands most of the time but has a habit to walk right through the invisible fence every once in a while to visit the neighbors. We shaved his neck where the collar sits but it has very little effect on him, just a little quiver and through the line he goes. I try to walk him on a leash out to the line to train him and he will lay right down 50' feet from the line so he knows where the line is. But every once in a while when nobody is watching him a way he goes!! We have another training collar that will just about knock him over but he will not cross the line with that one on when somebody is watching him.I just don't what him to get in this habit and get in trouble. He is the biggest baby, just loves people and attention and has calmed down a lot but at times he does get wound pretty tight and his ears quit working!! Its not really his fault he didn't get enough training when he was a puppy but we are trying. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
