Hi All,
I'm about to pull my hair out today I'm home from work with a sick child and a 9 mth puppy who is pulling stubborn stunts lately. Gordo started this about a week ago where if I tell him something he won't mind but if my husband tells him something he immediately does it. I know he is trying me (must be in the teenager years) which is to be expected but does anyone have any suggestions? I'v had to put him in his crate several times today because he won't mind. Is this a good idea or am I teaching him that his crate is a bad place by doing this because he won't even go to it now when I tell him to go home? If I tell him no furniture and take him out of one chair he will head for the other chair and continue in a circle and he looks at me with those eyes like what are you going to do about it mom. I love Gordo to death and I know there will be trying days but does anyone have some words of advice on how to handle a stubborn dog? He is in obediance training and is doing a great job but seems to lose it when we get home.
Thank You!!!!
