Hey everyone!
Just after a bit of advice with my 10 week old Neo Mastiff x Cane Corso pup.
She’s actually pretty good with the basics. Shes knows sit, stay, down, and will come most of the time, but her name recognition and recall aren’t great. A lot of the time she just doesn’t respond to her name, especially if there’s anything else going on, and I have to keep trying to get her attention before she’ll listen. Once I’ve got her focus she’ll usually do what I ask unless she’s feeling particularly stubborn (generally when she’s tired and uninterested), it’s just getting her to tune in that’s the hard part. She’s also not very food driven which makes training a bit tricky since treats don’t really excite her much.
Just wondering if anyone has tips for getting better recall and name response (especially with distractions), building more engagement/focus, what to use for training if your dog isn’t super into food
I know she’s still young, just want to make sure I’m on the right track early.
Appreciate any help!
