A while ago i posted that i needed help because my dog has not been coming when he is called AND he got out at my parents house. For those of you that dont know the story: My parents were walking out the gate and let the dog out onto a BUSY street. Toby wouldnt come when he was called he running around the street playing the "catch me if you can" game. My parents came in the house when we finally caught him and said that "I didnt think he would do that!!!".
I had REPEATEDLY warned them and told them to watch for him when they are leaving. THey didnt take me seriously.
I told this same story to a freind of my fiance last night, and about fifteen minuits later he was walking outside and LEFT THE F_ING DOOR OPEN
and guess what???? TOBY GOT OUT AGAIN.
My fiance didnt really understand why i was so angry. Do you think it is out of line to say that because he doesnt follow house rules his friend cant come over anymore????? (i mean i could sort of see him forgetting over the period of a couple weeks, but i told him 15 minuits before he left the fricken door open)
I also am instituting the rule that no one feeds toby treats or ATTEMPTS TO TRAIN HIM other than me or my fiance.... i told that same friend NO MORE treats (he wasnt even asking him to do what he wanted, he would say sit and toby would still be standing and he would give him a treat..... i think he RUINED any progress i have made with him) anyways, i told him NO MORE and then next thing i know he is reaching up on the fridge for MORE CHEERIOS!!
WHY dont people take me seriously????? I am VERY frustrated by this.... what shoudl i do??? My fiance thinks i am making a big deal out of nothing, but it is something to me. I dont want a bad dog that doesnt listen, any progress i made went out the window with my fiance's "training methods" AND he lets the fricken dog out....
What would you do??
