Besides that he still eats his poop, whines,whines,whines, and whines some more.God forbid you should try to eat something, he thinks you are suppose to share it. More whining. I am home all day and all we do is work on his behavior. I really do love him to death and he has his moments. But it is my husband who gets really upset at him. We looked a long time for him, we researched, but I think they left out the parts where they do all these things. LOL. I just want him to be a good boy and love me as much as I love him. |
Awe, I sure feel for ya, believe me, I know what you mean. My hubby got frustrated earlier this evening with Maggy May when he was trying to play with her and all she kept doing is biting him, finally he got up and put her in her kennel. I told him he can't use her kennel as a form of punishment though, that's not a good thing to associate the kennel with. She doesn't whine when she's in her kennel, she just goes in, climbs in her bed and goes to sleep, thank God, lol. I got her back out and put her down on the floor and when she went to bite him (his feet) I went over and got her and gave her a toy. She tried biting me so I tossed the toy and she ran after it. We did this for about 10 minutes and I had to keep throwing her toy, God forbid I held it for a second to long, she'd start biting again if I did that, lol. Have you tried the whistle yet? I was gonna get the bitter apple tonight to but walmart was out of it, I'm glad they were cause so far this evening, the whislte is working wonders!

Does it just make ya wanna rip your hair out though when all you wanna do is pet them and they try to have your whole hand for a snack? Lol!
