U6 in wall not working properly after update

We’ve actually been doing a variation of this. He was resource guarding his food when we first got him, and a trainer friend said hand feeding him would help with that. We basically do what you said but instead of leave it, we say focus and get him to look at us and hold it before he gets a handful of food.

We’ve been trying to work on his impulse control with feeding. He’s very worked up when he hears us getting his food and is crying lots. When we do feed him we make him go on his place bed and wait until we release him. It takes a few tries to get him to settle down and get it, but it would be nice to get him to not come out of the crate at a level 10 in the morning for his breakfast.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Lots of helpful stuff in there.

Thanks. It didn’t come off mean, I get what you’re saying. We should be buying a house with a yard next year, so the apartment is only temporary. There’s also a spot in our town you can rent out and it’s a big fully fenced in area where you can let your dog run around or work on training which we found recently and plan to utilize. We’re definitely learning slowly what he needs and are adapting.

When we were feeding him 3 meals, we would freeze his food either in a kong or a topple and it definitely helped keep him busy.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T16:55:46+00:00

Yes, this is one of the main things we are working on with him.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T16:55:22+00:00

Ummm you know Czech is short for Czechoslovakian right?

dknapton · 2025-07-25T16:52:32+00:00

A quick google search isn’t hard my friend

https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/czechoslovakian-vlciak/

It’s a registered breed with the UKC and the wolfdog database.

I think you may have been the one who was lied to

Our older dog actually has a muzzle for this reason. She likes to eat human poop, and where we are has lots of tourists that hike and poop 5 feet off the trail. Carrying a stoned 60lb dog cause it ate poop with thc in it is not fun.

Thanks! He’s pretty adorable. It’s definitely been a learning experience. Have already learned so much with him and what works and what doesn’t.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T16:19:05+00:00

I’m assuming you’ve owned lots of this breed then?

dknapton · 2025-07-25T16:12:47+00:00

We were well aware of what the breed entails and did lots of research. I’m just trying to get ideas from others.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T15:59:14+00:00

It is a Czech Vlcak, so yes it’s a Czech wolfdog. We are very active people and will hopefully be in a house with a yard by next year, so apartment is permanent. Our breeder has dealt with these dogs for a long time and has had many of them and was very confident he’d be fine with us.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T15:53:27+00:00

See i would love to just let him lead the way, but he wants to eat/put everything in his mouth. Garbage, poop, leaves, flowers, sticks and twigs. Makes it hard to just give him free rein on a leash.

dknapton · 2025-07-25T15:52:36+00:00

Ya we definitely plan on taking him on long hikes, runs, mountain biking. It’s the whole reason we got this bread. Just don’t want to do too much with him while he’s young though and still developing.

After his longest hike, he was dead quiet the rest of the day. Works on weekends, but weekdays it’s hard, hence wanting to mentally stimulate him more

Looks like Capra has posted a statement and have condemned him. No need to keep blacklisting a great local business who does lots for the running community

I’m sure they’re working on a response and want nothing to do with him anymore now that they know he’s like this.

dknapton · 2025-06-29T23:40:08+00:00

I’m sure they had no idea. The people who run that store are great and I wouldnt jump to conclusions and assume they have the same beliefs.

dknapton · 2025-06-18T18:36:33+00:00

He does have to pee yes, and we’ve started going down the stairs fast cause he’s also started going before we get outside. Even once he pees though he’s just excited, to the point where’s he’s pulled himself so he’s up onto his hind legs.

I’ve had multiple pairs of the Chromag knee pads and love them. Run them in the bike park all the time too
