Now Chloe is very rebelious and is always getting into something, And is very destructive as well as not even close to being fully potty trained. latley I swear she is pushing the limits more and more to test me. Now I know that those are training issues, And we have her enrolled in the next available obediance classes that start the end of Feb. But my main and real concern is that she doesnt want to come to me if i call her, And unless shes sleepy/or tuckerd out she doesnt want anything to do with being held & generally seems to not really have any interest in me unless i'm leaving the house, feeding her or playing fetch. I bought my mom the boy from the same litter and he's so lovey dovey, and so calm that I just cant help but wonder..I picked her but maybe she didn't pick me? I hate to think this and it makes me sad and a little teary eyed to even write this, But I thought maybe someone out there has gone through this and could help. |
I don't think that you should compare dogs for the same way you don't compare children. They all have different personalities.
You just need to bond with your dog more and find things about her that you do love and stop looking at the things you don't. She is a puppy and they do naughty things sometimes. That is why we are here to train them.
I know it would be nice to have a cuddle bug but all dogs are not and she will calm down once she gets older.
Have play time with her so that it helps with the bonding. We also have a time where we practice tricks every day and both dogs look forward to it.
Having a schedule makes them feel more secure and doing these things helps with the bonding. It would be nice if they always did what we wanted them to do, but then again how much fun is that? I like the surprises of laughter once in a while!!
My Pixie is a live wire she is always looking for things to get into but I find myself laughing at some of it. The size of her, she drags my grandsons couch across the living room. She gets into toilet paper. She tries to jump in the trash can, I caught her trying to drink my husbands glass of wine. She steals socks and hides them, etc puppy behavior!!
Love your puppy for who she is and she will love you back
