“Great podcast, ton of amazing free resources.
I have a 7 month Alaskan malamute who can be very stubborn (per the breed). He’s fairly smart and picked up well on his obedience (sit, place, stay, come, down) , however, he is definitely in his teenage phase.
Our biggest issue is his inability to “leave it” when he’s outside. He will try and sneak bark chips, pine cones, grass, sticks you name it. He was worse as a puppy puppy but he’s slowly getting better. Still, he will grab something outside he’s not supposed to have and run the other way. We tried a muzzle and found that he would barely listen and was a lot more spastic on walks. We just bought an e collar and slowly started to get him comfortable with it in the house and practicing “place” per your video. It’s going pretty well.
Long story short, he knows “leave it” but continuous to ignore it when he really wants something. He will also ignore us when he’s very invested in a smell, a sound, etc. how can I use the collar to train him to “leave it”, “drop it” and focus on me when he really doesn’t want to. He’s food motivated but still ignores us in these situations.”
