Thank you. When we walk I am feeding him his dinner by hand. Every time he looks at me he gets kibble. I’ve tried other higher value treats but it doesn’t make much
difference. He loves cheese but his behavior and compliance are the same
no matter what I give him. He’s gotten pretty good at keeping his eyes on me, especially in the past couple of weeks. The trouble comes when we’re in an area that he remembers getting excited about something in the past. For my dog it seems that what Robert calls “prey drive” is more bullying in nature than fear or play. Anyway we’ll keep working on meals while walking.

Unfortunately he’s injured right now so we haven’t been on a walk for a few days, and won’t go out again for at least a week. The down time is a good opportunity to work on other tricks and training.
