He does not listen, bites and could care less about potty training. I know that I’m older (75) however I have had many dogs in my life and this one is the worst I have ever had. I am ready to get rid of him, I truly am at the end of my rope. I just don’t know what to do, I have read many articles and followed trainers on You Tube but nothing is working. Please can you suggest what I should do.

I have a 6 month Cocker Spaniel girl ( Florence) whose first encounter once she left her litter and her mummy was my best friends Bassett Hound Audrey who is so laid back she is horizontal !

The problem I have is Florence is out of control , I mean seriously out of control whenever she sees Audrey when we are out walking . My husband said today when she saw Audrey he thought Florence was going to attack him because he would not let her get to Audrey . Our trainer has been teaching Florence needs respect and good manners and does not decide when she gets to call the shots ! We have tried everything . Training sessions with Audrey and Florence , walking past each other nothing works …Audrey does not react at all but Florence is so besotted with her and if she cannot get to her turns into the most dreadful aggressive temper tantrum teenager you have ever seen . Please please can you help , Florence is really fine with every other dog , but I think she sees Audrey as her mother . Once she is with Audrey she will not leave her alone and eventually Audrey has a snap to say enough which is fine ..but it’s the reaction when she sees her and we don’t let her go across the street to say hello calmly and respectfully …

Luckily the dog was okay and beat up my dog. I just don’t know what to do with him anymore. He can’t control himself around other animals and I’m scared something worse will happen.

Training a puppy is a lot of work. Besides reading blog posts like this one you might want to look into getting help from a certified professional dog trainer. An in-home session would be best so the trainer can see the exact behaviors you’d like to work on. However in-home training can be expensive. A second option would be to enroll in group training classes. This is less expensive and you can still get training tips and feedback from a certified trainer. Hopefully that helps. Good luck with your training!

He’s 8 months now. He has always been trouble. From day 1 he has never been able to be in his crate without barking/crying the entire time. I live in an apartment and my neighbors weren’t happy so I gave up on crate training. He’s terrified of any leash/collars/ harnesses. He will run and hide and it takes 2 people to get his harness on. He pees on the pee pads when he feels like it. But lately he’s been marking everything that touches the floor. He’s also always been very ‘teethy’ and likes to bite. I don’t want to get rid of him but I’m a single mom to a 5 year old and I’m wondering if I’m just not capable of training.

I’m glad you were able to rescue him. You definitely should have a professional certified dog trainer or behaviorist come over for an in home evaluation. I understand that it’s not possible at this time, but it’s very important that you have someone observe your dog’s behavior before making any recommendations. I’m sorry I can’t be much help on this one. Hopefully the COVID situation clears up soon and you can have someone over to assess your situation and give you a training plan.

I took in a 16 month old Yorkie from a family member who couldn’t care for him. We already have a 8 year old Morkie so I thought it would be a good idea to have two, along with 2 Maine Coon cats. He’s not neutered yet, we have an appointment. The problem is he had no training, he was always on a leash or tied up. We have crate trained him at night, taught him basic commands. The problem I am having is that any time I go to feed wet food (breakfast and dinner) he attacks the other pets. I have tried putting him in his kennel to eat and he thrashed and thrashed, right now I feed the cats up higher and then feed our other Morkie and then him. Being doing this for 2 months now and nothing has changed. Also anytime I go to pay attention to one of the cats he growls and lunges at him. I am thinking he’s doing that because they are both males and he’s not neutered, am I right? Right now those are the only issues we are having. I went into this knowing it would take time to train him due to the trauma he’d had. The family member had him tied up in a motorhome and ended up in the hospital and then in the ICU and family was unaware for 4 days. So the dog had no food or water for 4 days, until I was able to find the motorhome and break in and get him. Any suggestions? Due to COVID trainers in our area aren’t working right now, I have thought about it.

If he’s being destructive and chewing then what you said sounds about right. It sound like either separation anxiety or boredom or a combination of the two. Your daughter should consider bringing in a certified professional dog trainer for an in home evaluation. The trainer can assess the situation and setup a program to help her dog. I would not consider putting a dog down for chewing and being destructive. Every dog is different and it’s quite possible this dog requires more attention than your daughter can offer at this time. If that’s the case she might consider contacting local rescue organizations. A good place to start is PetFinder.com. Good luck to you and your daughter.
