Listening?

Pequeno has been feeling a lot better, he has that cheerful expression that tells me that he is happy once again.

"His ears pointing up, while his long white long tail is curled up in a c-shape figure, he gets excited once he hears my voice call out his name to go outside my frontyard." Field notes 10/29

"He starts running back and fourth, so fast as if he is a cheetah trying to catch it's prey" Field notes 10/29

While we're outside he spots my neighbor's dog named Sparky.

"Pequeno spots my neighbor's dog Sparky right away, he gets too excited everytime he sees him; Pequeno quickly wags his tail and tries to play with him." Field notes 10/29

I wonder why Pequeno gets excited when he see's other dogs?

"I called his name to go back inside,  but he wouldn't listen to me. He was still with Sparky waging his tail; it was hard for me to get him back inside." Filed notes 10/29

I wonder why he didn't respond to me right away? Why did he ignore me?

According to Positively "What To Do When Your Dog Won't Listen" it explains that if I want Pequeno to listen to me more when he's around other dog's. I have to motivate him with rewards by making him feel good about himself and to also use any rewards to grab his attention quick, such as using toys, play, praise, or simply being touched. I hope rewarding Pequeno will make him listen more while he's around other dogs or anything around him that distracts him easily.

  2. Your dog is very cute. I have two dogs of my own and they tend to ignore me when other dogs are around as well or when there are a variety of people who have food near them. The majority of the time I feel as if I need to bribe these dogs with treats in order for them to give me some attention. Then again there are occasions where they wont leave me alone and give me a little too much attention. I don't know if I'm the problem or if they are ...
