Ok I know this problem will sound silly but I come seeking advise. We have been working with Dandy a lot and he is settling down nicely. I am very happy with his progress. When we first got him he did like to be caught. We work that out pretty quick. Now he will come right up to you happy your there. He was very nerves about touching him behind the shoulders. That for the most part is not a issue now. He is still kinda touchy about the tail. He leads great couldnt ask for him to do better. I have been working him on a short lung line and he is doing great with that. I have hi going right left and stopping turning face in on command. So all in all I am extremely happy with his progress and tells me that at some point before his last owner he has been work quite a bit.
Now the one little issue I cant for the life of me figure out. Walking on or of the lead he is spot on well manured follows every where your lead with out issue. But if you try and jog making him pick up the pace he wants to nip you on the butt. This has just started in the last couple of days. He didn't do it at first. I cant figure out why or how to stop it. I can stop him from doing it by telling him no and looking at him square in the eyes. As soon as you turn your head he starts easing up again ready to take a little nibble. Again this only at a nice jog or trot for him.
any and all advise welcome. I am at my wits in.
