(Usually no more than 3-4 hours max. at one time) We let her out to potty and she isn't doing well at that either, but as soon as she comes back in she gets mean. (We have NEVER abused or mistreated her in any way) She has a problem with biting. Not just little puppy bites, she bites everyone and hard. She breaks skin almost every time. Apple Bitter does not work...tried it. Callie rarely gives kisses to anyone, she will occassionally give a hug to me, but right afterwards she bites. She used to sleep with us, but she has gotten so aggressive that it's not a good idea any more. I can not get her to calm down or be nice, I don't know what to do. I tried the time out thing-just like with my kids all it did was make her even more mad. If I can't get her under control I'm afraid mu husband will make me give her to someone else. I love her to death and do not want to give her up, but he's a fairly short tempered man and his patience is almost gone. Someone please help me!!!! |
Have you thought about just putting up a baby gate somewhere and leaving her in a certain room while you are gone during the day. Like maybe the kitchen or a bathroom someplace that has linolum or tile floors. Where it wouldn't be that big of a hassle to clean up after her.
I think I would try this and see if it helps her temperment any at all. Sounds to me like that maybe she hates the crate so much and she is just staying mad at you for having to be in it any at all.
Good luck. Keep us posted as to how she is doing. I know how upsetting this must be for you.
