Any tips for training an adult dog?
So I have had my dog for 4 years now but I got him when I was about 11 or twelve. My parents never cared what was going on with him as long as he wasn't destroying things or going in the house. I was an idiot kid and so were my siblings so we never really did the things important for dogs like proper training and socialization. So really all he has know his whole life is to sit, down, stay, and come and he's house trained. I want more for him now that I'm older and realize his needs. I hear better trained dogs are happier and I want to build up socialization so that he can have fun with other dogs. At this point he is very reactive with dogs, barking like crazy on walks and its just embarrassing. I want him to live a fuller life especially since I feel like my childish ways have robbed him of being a smarter pup. I mean he has hung out with dogs before and he isn't aggressive toward people we let in our house, but that's now enough. He also has a cat brother which he loves and has been since before he turned one. I'm trying to bring him into his 5th year socialized and better trained. I just want to know any tips you guys have for going about socializing and training an adult dog.
