 There is hope!
I've been looking online for months for ways to help train him. He will be one year old on April 28... He's at the age where he should know his own name and everything but he just acts like he doesn't! When I first got him in July, my mom trained him for a while because I had to work all the time. He was decently behaved when I moved with him into my new apartment. I stopped working so much so I could spend more time with him, and I frequently sit on the couch and call him to come sit with me. Instead of coming when I call his name, he just sits there and stares at me. I'll stand up to try to go get him and cuddle, and he'll run off and hide under the bed with a toy like he has no idea. I tried to teach him "no" and "sit" and "stay" and he seems to be the most stubborn dog ever. He usually will go to the bathroom on puppy pads, but when he gets mad at me for something he will use the bathroom wherever he pleases. I just can't seem to build a connection with him.. He acts like it just doesn't register to him. I do everything I can with him... I'm a college student and I work 40 hours a week, so when I am home I just want him to love me back. |
