She thinks the house is a great place to potty, she barks at everything and attacks the vacuum, mop, broom, etc. to the point where you can't even get her attention. Let's see what else. She still growls when she doesn't want you touching her food although we have done nothing in life is free on occasion and she gets in trouble when she does it. She growls when you are touching or kissing her in certain spots her for too long. She has been known to bite. She refuses to be leash trained and I'd like if she was so we could go for relaxing walks and burn some of her frustration. She barks at visitors so much that they must feel unwelcome. She knows when we are serious because she rolls on her back to submit but she is constantly trying to be alpha. It can be draining but I'd do it all over again.  |
Ellie May could be Buddy's sibling! LOL
However he surrendered to me touching his food and he is house trained.
All the rest is Buddy to a T. Amazing how much you love them even
after they drive you up the wall. I guess that's just unconditional love
