Anyone any tips how to stop my pup from trying to get the washing on the line ols ? Hes only 6 month but hes a very large breed and doesnt even need to jump to get it

You need to catch him in the act and show him something to play with. It's the only way he will learn by association. When he sees the laundry he knows to play with his . . e. g ball instead. And anytime you see he is playing with something else when washing is out you reward him heavily.  

Answer 2

Spray him with water in a spray bottle every time he does it , and firmly say no & make him sit and ignore him, He’ll soon stop x

Answer 3

Outback dog training page. Look them up they are fantastic for helping train your dog's. Please don't spray with water, it can cause other traits you don't want x

Has he got a Kong or a Snuffle mat or something similar? anything that will distract him, if they’ve got nothing to do they get bored and up to mischief like Toddlers, teach him some tricks, throw balls to retrieve he might have a lot of energy to burn (depending on breed)  

Answer 5
