This little dog has been everything contrary to my memories of having a dog as a child. Needless to say, I should have done more research on the breed before I bought the dog.
Potty training is still not what it should be.
He chews/eats EVERYTHING. I want to give him time outside but he eats grass, sticks, pine mulch, insects... So... we go inside. You name it, he'll eat or chew it - carpet, drapes, plants, newspaper, potty pads... (might as well add his feces to the list also) So... back in the crate.
Obedience training? You're joking right? The darn thing only responds when cornered or facing a leather belt.
Walking him tires him out somewhat, but it's only for a season.
I read a few posts on the forum saying that they get better as they get older but I don't know if he'll make it that long (at least with me).
I am considering letting him go but I can't just *give* him away after all that has been spent on him.
The kids want him but they're no help when it comes to training, walking, etc.
I just joined the forum and I guess this was just my opportunity to vent to people who think these dogs are so lovely.  |
OK before you all get upset, lets look at this post.
It was started at 10:30 last night. It's the very 1st post.
RED FLAG!
The darn thing only responds when cornered or facing a leather belt.
Now we all know how big this site is, and some people out there have nothing to do but try and upset others and then sit back and watch. (yep, sad but true).
If this poster really wants help, we have a member who has offered help.
(Very nice of you AngelWorks
)
I think we should wait and see if this poster comes back and responds to the help being offered. If not, I guess we will know it's just another nothing to do better poster.
Just trying to save you all from being upset.This is the net, some people like to play games, I'm not one of them.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
